Description
Bring evolutionary concepts to life with this Natural Selection 3D Research Project Cube, a hands-on, student-centered research activity designed for upper elementary and middle school science classrooms. Students explore the mechanism of natural selection, investigate how traits are passed on, and analyze how environmental pressures influence the survival and adaptation of species — then organize their findings into a three-dimensional research cube that makes abstract biology concepts visual, engaging, and memorable.
Perfect for life science units, evolution lessons, biodiversity studies, and STEM research projects, this activity blends research, scientific writing, critical thinking, and creative presentation while providing a meaningful way to showcase student learning in your classroom or hallways.
Students can complete these cubes two ways. You can print the template on card stock and have them complete it by hand, or you can give them the PowerPoint template, have them complete it in PowerPoint, then print the completed cube.
Your students will be completely engaged with this hands-on science activity!
Topics include the natural selection, variation, genetic mutation, adaptation, selective pressure, and speciation.
