Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Evidence of Evolution by Natural Selection ppt also includes:
  • Graphic & Image
  • Join to access all included materials

Being able to test a hypothesis is a scientific must. AP Biology pupils can see the process of hypothesis testing through evidence for evolution as seen in natural selection. Slides contain solid information and excerpts from academic journals. However, the second-to -ast slide comically shows images of President Bush next to images of chimps making similar facial expressions. Editing the presentation may be required.
