Evolution in Action! 🐦🧬
Earlier this trimester, our grade 11 students dove into a "Battle of the Beaks" to explore natural selection, and Darwin's finches, firsthand. Taking a look at finch beak sizes and shapes, students used a plethora of objects to mimic different beak sizes and dexterities to determine which "beaks" are most likely to help birds survive winter and pass on their genes — and understand how populations evolve over time.
