The Perfect Human Lesson Plan
This lesson involves a multi-step exploration of human evolution, body imperfections, and the concept of a "perfect human." It begins with a "Do Now" activity where students choose a key human trait essential for survival and justify their choice. The lesson continues with an exploration phase, including a video and discussions on issues with the human body, encouraging students to sketch or describe an improved version of the human form.
Students then watch a video comparing a "perfect human" to our current bodies and discuss observed differences. An extension activity prompts students to explore ongoing human evolution, selecting and analyzing specific adaptations. The lesson concludes with a reflection on human body imperfections, potential improvements, and the idea of predicting a "perfect body." Students are asked to reflect on whether such a body would be better suited for survival.
The lesson includes: slides, teacher copy of the packet, and student copy of the packet
