Description

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 Careers in Science: Evolution Activity includes:

  • A student-friendly reading, 4–5 short paragraphs, about a real career in science
  • 5–6 thoughtful reflection and comprehension questions
  • A fun coloring activity of the scientist working in the field
  • PDF, Google Slides, and answer key

 

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.

Downloads

How do I find my downloads?

At the top of the page click MY ACCOUNT, then click DOWNLOADS in the list on the left. A link to all of your downloads can be found there.

You will also receive an automated email after each purchase with a link to every resource, so check your inbox and your spam or junk folder. Be sure to save your purchases to your hard drive and consider backing them up.

My download has a file-path error and will not open!

This is usually a character-length problem that happens when files sit in the Downloads folder on a PC. That folder is buried so deep on the computer that it can cause errors.

Try saving the file to My Documents instead of Downloads and see if that helps. If you are still stuck, email me and I will help you sort it out.

What types of resources do you sell?

Many resources come in both printable (PDF) and digital Google Slides™ formats. Some use Boom Learning for Boom Cards. Unless noted otherwise, please consider products non-editable.

Please read the product description to see exactly what file types you are purchasing.

What forms of payment do you accept?

You can pay by credit or debit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or direct bank transfer (ACH) through our secure checkout.

We also accept purchase orders from schools, districts, and other educational institutions. See the Purchase Orders section for details. We do not accept personal checks or money orders outside of the purchase order process.

What is your refund policy?

Because we sell digital downloads, all sales are final and no refunds or exchanges are available.

If you are unsure whether a resource is right for your students, please email me before purchasing and I will gladly answer any questions.

I want to purchase multiple licenses. How does that work?

Each teacher license provides access for one teacher. Add the number of licenses you need to your cart and check out as normal.

Then email me with your order number and the name and email address of each additional teacher, and I will set up an account and access for each of them.

Am I responsible for sales tax?
