![]() As students return to the four illustrations after watching the video, they analyze the illustrations by counting and graphing the color distribution of rock pocket mice at the two locations (light/dark). Watching the short film, students learn about the changes of rock pocket mouse populations, and that the environment contributes towards determining whether or not randomly arising mutations in fur color are advantageous, neutral, or deleterious. This resource is explicitly designed to build towards this performance expectation.Ĭomments about Including the Performance ExpectationĪt the beginning of the lesson, students place four illustrations showing different numbers of light and dark colored rock pocket mice at two locations (light/dark substrate) in sequence from oldest to most recent. The series also has two animations which will help to reinforce the concept. The film is also available as an interactive video with embedded questions, which test students’ understanding as they watch the film. This ten minute film shows adaptive changes in rock pocket mouse populations, demonstrating the process of natural selection and can be accessed at. This is one of several classroom activities, focusing on related topics and varying in complexity, built around the short film. Based on this evidence, and what they learn about variation and natural selection in the accompanying short film, students use this evidence to explain the change in the rock pocket mouse populations on the lava flow (dark substrate) over time. You must use and cite the articles within each content area in your paper to strengthen your claims.This activity provides an introduction to natural selection and the role of genetic variation by asking students to analyze illustrations of rock pocket mouse populations (dark/light fur) on different color substrates in the Sonoran Desert (light/dark) over time. The articles must be peer reviewed and have been published within the last 5 years. Two of the articles should examine servant leadership from a different cultural perspective and two articles should examine servant leadership from a different religious perspective. You are required to locate a total of four articles that address servant leadership in your chosen cultural context and religious viewpoint. Identify specific examples of servant leadership practices evident in your chosen culture and religion in your essay. Identify similarities and differences between servant leadership philosophies and the values from your selected cultural context and religious viewpoint. Then in a 1,250 to 1,500 word essay, discuss the following:Įxplain how the principles of servant leadership are evident in your chosen culture and religion? This assignment presents you with an opportunity to explore other cultures, philosophies, and religions and asks you to think critically about how servant leadership practices are apparent in other religions and cultures.įirst, begin by selecting and examining one cultural context and one religious viewpoint outside of mainstream Christianity. While servant leadership is often associated with Christianity and the Bible, one could argue that it is compatible with most religions and philosophies and that it transcends cultures. The purpose of this assignment is to examine servant leadership practices with regard to religions and cultures other than those associated with Christianity. Observations, ask questions, and make predictions. PART 1: How Are Rock Pocket Mouse Populations Different?įigure 1 shows images of rock pocket mice in different environments. access to the short film The Making of the Fittest: Natural Selection and Adaptation.Observations, analyze and interpret data, and support claims with evidence. In this activity, you will explore how this change impacted rock pocket mouse populations. These eruptions covered parts of the ground in dark Over time, volcanicĮruptions affected the environments where the mice live. Rock pocket mice live in the Sonoran Desert in the southwestern United States and Mexico. ![]() Using this document, you agree to use this document in accordance with these terms.
