For your Sample Work assignment you will write a reflection about your learning this unit. Your reflections should be 3-5 sentences long and you need to use the sentence starts given on page 1 of this lesson.
Sentence starters:
I feel confident about explaining natural selection because…
The topic in this unit I found most challenging was…
In order to remember definitions of key words in this unit, one strategy I used was…
One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is… because…
the unit:
Define Natural Selection Quick Check
Explain Natural Selection Quick Check
Genetic Variation Over Time Quick Check
Traits, Survival, and Reproduction Quick Check
Mathematics of Natural Selection Quick Check
I feel confident about explaining natural selection because I understand the process of how certain traits are passed down through generations based on survival and reproduction.
The topic in this unit I found most challenging was understanding the mathematics of natural selection, as it involved calculating allele frequencies and understanding Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
In order to remember definitions of key words in this unit, one strategy I used was creating flashcards with the term on one side and the definition on the other to quiz myself regularly.
One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is genetic variation over time because I am curious about how different factors influence the diversity of traits within a population.
can you make this one a little longer
I feel confident about explaining natural selection because I understand the process of how certain traits are passed down through generations based on survival and reproduction. This concept of "survival of the fittest" makes sense to me, and I can see how it leads to the adaptation of species over time.
The topic in this unit I found most challenging was understanding the mathematics of natural selection, as it involved calculating allele frequencies and understanding Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. I struggled with the mathematical formulas and had to spend extra time practicing to fully grasp the calculations.
In order to remember definitions of key words in this unit, one strategy I used was creating flashcards with the term on one side and the definition on the other to quiz myself regularly. This method helped me reinforce my understanding of the vocabulary and concepts in the unit.
One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is genetic variation over time because I am curious about how different factors influence the diversity of traits within a population. I want to delve deeper into the mechanisms of genetic variability and how it contributes to the evolution of species.
