Peppered Moths and their Environment
In this introductory 5E lesson to organism adaptations, 5th grade students examine the case of the peppered moth to answer two inquiry questions:
1. (to Explore) Can organism’s traits help it in its environment?
2. (to Elaborate) Can a change in environment cause a change in an organism’s traits?
Students will participate in discussion, use a digital interactive timeline, and create a graph to develop answers to these inquiry questions.
