Science Methods - Week 10

 This week in class we had another continued discussion about evolution and natural selection. We discussed how natural selection works and worked on an activity to create our own children's book about evolution using art generated by the Dall-E 2 artificial intelligence.

    Personally this week I learned how far evolution can advance and learned more about natural selection. the biggest thing that I learned was that evolution goes on forever and eventually can create creatures wholly unlike their ancient ancestors (as seen in The Dino and The Chicken) while also being able to stick with the same proven design as seen with Alligators. I can realate what we learned to my knowledge from previous classes about natural selection and how it works to change creatures into becoming more suited to their environment, however my newfound knowledge of mutations helps to fill in my previous gaps of understanding. I think I could apply this lesson to my teaching in the future by showing my students literature about natural selection and evolution to help introduce them to the idea that animals can change over a long time and become something different to be best suited for their environment.
