Darwin Game

Okay so the Christmas break is over.  Now its time to get back to work.  Today we are going to be learning about evolution.  You will be playing a Darwin game from the discovery channel.  I want you to play until you have survived a million years.  The trick to survival is to be as diverse as possible when you start.  Your species should have lots of different looking members.  Once you are finished I want you to answer the following questions.
  1. What is natural selection?
  2. How is variation passed to the next generation of offspring?
  3. What does "survival of the fittest" mean?
  4. How many challenges did you face during the "Who wants to live a million years game?"
  5. What did your species look like when you won the game? (consider if it was fat, had a long neck, was its fur fuzzy, did you have any differences in color?)
  6. Now take the quiz and record the correct answer to each question in a complete sentence.
Put your name on your work and upload it to my dropbox.  
Today should be the first start up of your new set.  "What is evolution?"
