Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Evolution	5 minutes	Briefly introduce evolution; pose a question to hook interest (e.g., "How did we get here?").
2	Key Figures in Evolution	5 minutes	Discuss Charles Darwin and his contributions. Provide handouts with key information.
3	Principles of Natural Selection	10 minutes	Explain key concepts: variation, competition, survival of the fittest. Use examples of species.
4	Evidence for Evolution	5 minutes	Present examples of evidence: fossil records, genetic similarities. Show visuals via projector.
5	Interactive Activity	3 minutes	Conduct a quick interactive quiz or game to assess understanding of key concepts.
6	Homework Assignment Introduction	2 minutes	Explain the homework assignment related to evolution concepts without direct presentations.

Homework

• Assign students to write a one-page summary of their understanding of evolution, focusing on one specific example of evolution observed in nature.
• Collect the written homework the following class session; do not require presentations.

Assessment

• Students’ understanding will be assessed through the interactive quiz and the submitted homework assignment.
• Provide feedback on homework without requiring students to present it in front of the class.

Notes

• Ensure inclusivity by adapting examples to various students' backgrounds.
• Prepare to facilitate discussions that encourage individual student input during lessons.
