Peppered Moths and their Environment
by Sofya Pangburn
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.
