Guess Who Came to Dinner!

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

An exceptionally creative approach is taken to assessing your biologists' grasp of natural selection concepts. They are to imagine hosting Charles Darwin for dinner and having, to their surpise, a few other noted scientists crash the party. They plan a seating chart and explain what controversial banter occurs between guests. This assignment is fun, it stimulates creativity and critical thinking, and is highly recommended!
