Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Reconstructing Evolutionary History Using Fossils. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Comparative anatomy provides evidence for evolution by analyzing the similarities and differences between the body parts of different species.
Developmental biology provides evidence for evolution by comparing how different organisms grow and develop.
Organisms can be classified based on common physical characteristics.
Evolution occurs because genomes change over time, causing new traits in a species and eventually the formation of a new species.
Scientists can use fossils to compare existing or extinct organisms to one another to determine evolutionary history and lineage.
The fossil record documents the existence and change of many life forms on Earth throughout history.
