If you’re looking for a meaningful way to connect your biology curriculum to real-world science careers, this Careers in Science: Evolution Activity is a perfect fit!
This no-prep evolution worksheet introduces students to evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Lauren Schroeder and helps them explore how scientists study early human fossils, human evolution, and the complex branches of the human family tree. Students will connect biology concepts like evolution, fossils, natural selection, genetic drift, early Homo species, adaptation, and human ancestry to real scientific work.
I designed this as an easy go-to for early finishers, sub plans, homework, enrichment, or anytime you want to show students how what they’re learning in class connects to real careers in science.
Want more biology career connections like this one? This activity is also included in my Biology Careers in Science Activities Bundle, which includes multiple no-prep worksheets connecting biology topics to real scientists and modern science careers.
This activity fits perfectly when teaching evolution, human evolution, natural selection, genetic drift, fossils, early hominins, or the evidence for evolution. Students will learn how Dr. Lauren Schroeder studies fossils from early Homo species, including Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo naledi, and uses 3D geometric morphometrics to compare skull shapes and better understand how early humans evolved.
Your students will see that evolution is not just a straight-line diagram from ape to modern human. It is a complex, branching story that scientists are still piecing together through fossils, technology, evidence, and discovery.
