A lesson plan on the phylum Tardigrada is presented in a storytelling workbook that introduces the evolutionary concepts of adaptive radiation, speciation, divergence, and "tree-thinking" through narrative, transitional art, contemplative coloring, and data searches, which can be enhanced with microscopy wet labs. Students gain insight into the invertebrate world of the highly adaptable, ubiquitous microorganisms known colloquially as "water bears," generating a microevolutionary and macroevolutionary perspective through a narrative that includes an introduction to the TimeTree database.
一本故事性练习册中呈现了关于缓步动物门的教案,该练习册通过叙述、过渡性艺术、冥想填色和数据搜索来介绍适应性辐射、物种形成、分化和“系统发生思维”等进化概念,还可通过显微镜湿实验室进行强化。学生深入了解这些俗称“水熊”的高度适应性、无处不在的微生物的无脊椎动物世界,通过包含对时间树数据库介绍的叙述产生微观进化和宏观进化的视角。
