Exploring Careers in Paleobiology and Physical Anthropology

This project invites students to delve into the roles of paleobiologists and physical anthropologists. Based on your choice, read the respective interview sections and take detailed notes. Key activities include understanding daily tasks, challenges faced in these careers, and the concept of plate tectonics. Additionally, create a poster that presents your findings in a concise and visually appealing manner. Remember to utilize graphic organizers, like Venn diagrams, to illustrate relationships between concepts. Ensure your poster meets all criteria and is fully typed.

  1. Do Now • Which project you are doing: paleobiologist or physical anthropologist? • If you chose paleobiologist, read page 118-119, Interview with a Paleobiologistand take notes. • If you chose physical anthropologist, read page 119-120, Interview with a Physical Anthropologist, and take notes. • While taking notes, please answer the following questions: • What does a paleobiologist/physical anthropologist do? • What do you think a typical day at work looks like for a paleobiologist/physical anthropologist? • What is the most challenging part of a paleobiologist’s/ physical anthropologist’s job?

  2. Evolution by Natural Selection • Check your homework with an answer key • Any questions?

  3. Paleobiologist and Physical Anthropologist Project • Due Tuesday, October 22nd • End Product: Poster displaying information in a neat, concise format • Double check that your poster addresses all criteria required. • All text should be typed.

  4. Background Information: What is Plate Tectonics? • Millions of years ago, the continents were arranged close together in a supercontinent called “Pangea” • Over time, the convection currents of the Earth’s mantle moved the plates apart. • What evidence do we have?

  5. Background Information: What is Plate Tectonics? • What evidence do we have? • Continents fit together like a puzzle • A small lizard (mesosaurus) was only found in E. South America and South Africa • Glacial deposits were found in tropical climates

  6. Background Information: Videos • Homo Sapians: The Birth of Humanity • What’s a Fossil? • Radiometric Dating with M & M’s Please take notes on each video! You are responsible for the information of a Paleobiologist and Physical Anthropologist!

  7. Graphic Organizers What are they? How do we use them?

  8. Graphic Organizer • Visual representations of knowledge, concepts, or ideas. • Also known as: knowledge map Concept maps Story maps Concept diagram Cognitive organizer

  9. Graphic Organizer: Venn Diagram • Shows relations between sets of data.
