In this lesson students will learn how plants and animals have evolved over time according to natural selection of evolution.
They will look at some examples of adaptive traits of plants and animals and will come up with their own. They will also create their own plant and animal they believe would be well suited to the habitats shown. They will consider Darwin’s contribution to this knowledge and how humans have evolved over time.
