Evolution Unit Reflection:
The topics that I learned about and expanded my knowledge with was how evolution worked. The main ways that we learned about evolution were watching informational videos, making posters, taking notes, and making a video modeling evolution and transitional species. The project that helped me learn the most was the posters. Seeing what I knew about evolution before the lessons, then revising and applying that knowledge to change our posters, helped me learn a lot. I learned through this project that evolution is a complex topic that is hard to comprehend. The connections to family heritage that I made is that everything that I have that defines a person is from their ancestors. From the Inner Fish video, I learned that most information about evolution is still undiscovered and it makes me curious about what else they are going to find out. The part of this unit that I enjoyed the most was making the video. The video was a fun way to learn about evolution and model a small part of what happened, and was something lighter than taking pages of notes.
