"Survive?" Mini Unit
An adaptation of the Event-Based Unit

Event-Based Science is a new way to teach middle school science. It is an award-winning, standards-based program in which newsworthy events establish the relevance of science topics; authentic tasks create the need-to-know more about those topics; and lively interviews, photographs, Web pages, and inquiry-based science activities create a desire to know more about those topics.

Survive? allows students to explore concepts related to animals, heredity, diversity, survival of the fittest, and evolution in the context of the discovery of deformed frogs in Minnesota. 

In Survive? students play the roles of scientists who have been sent to explore a newly discovered island and report their findings and predictions in the form of a museum exhibit.
