Due on FEBRUARY 28 is the new project we were given. It's a group video were you have to explain why we should or should not give money for an endangered animal. Make your groups now and start shooting. remember it should be interesting and should make the audience want to watch. You need research to persuade the audience for your cause.
In class today we watched the rest of the video and learned a lot about Darwin and his discovery's on the islands. We learned that finches on the islands are a great example of evolution. On each island there are different finches because on each island there are different size seeds. Also if there is a drought through natural selection bigger birds with larger seeds will survive because there will be larger seeds. the large birds will breed because they will survive to reproduce and the next generation will be a bigger size. but if it rains a lot the opposite will happen and the smaller birds will bread so the next generation will be smaller.
As animals moved to different islands they change because of natural selection. They do this in order to survive. Natural selection is a change that occurs in an organism to survive when the animal needs to adapt to the environment around him.
I found this really cool paper on natural geographic about a island with mini animals and people, like a mini elephant a mini Komodo dragon and more here is the link. its cool cause its also got to do with evolution.
