Students can be assigned this pamphlet as homework. If desired, instructors can collect the "Practice What You've Learned" for assessment. An in-class extension could involve holding a think-pair-share activity with additional similar questions in the next class period. Concepts:
Correspondence to the Next Generation Science Standards is indicated in parentheses after each relevant concept. See our conceptual framework for details. - Present-day species evolved from earlier species; the relatedness of organisms is the result of common ancestry.
