Darwin's Finches - 6MR science investigation

In science, we have been learning about natural selection and evolution. Today, the children learnt about Darwin's Finches. We looked at how their beaks were adapted to the type of diet they have which Darwin once observed.

We set up a science investigation to explore this. We used different types of forceps (representing different types of bird beak) to pick up different types of seeds. The children will think about their conclusions tomorrow.
