Evolution Cube: Final Assessment
(55 points)
In this final assessment, you will demonstrate your understanding of how evolution occurs through the processes of mutation, variation, adaptation, and natural selection. You will also illustrate the concept of extinction.
You need to come up with a real life or fictional example to draw each of the 5 concepts above; one concept for each side of the cube. The same example must be used throughout the cube. You also need to explain what is occurring in each drawing. Below you will find a rubric to guide you when creating your evolution cube.
