Station 3:

• Students will make vocab flash cards for the following terms:

1.  Natural Selection- process by which organisms change over time as those with traits best suited to an environment pass their traits to the next generation
2. Genetic Variation- differences in traits among organisms of the same species
3. Adaptation- a characteristic or trait that helps an organisms to survive in its environment  
4. Fossils- remains, impression, track, or other evidence of ancient organisms
5. Fossil Record-to refer to the total number of fossils that have been discovered, as well as to the information derived from them  
6.  Similar Structures- body parts in different organisms that look the same
7. Common Ancestor- an ancestor that two or more descendants have in common
8. Vestigial Structures- are body parts that have lost their original function
