Natural Selection

Dive into the intriguing relationship between the Galápagos Islands and natural selection with this engaging life science worksheet! Perfect for middle school learners, this two-page activity allows students to explore how traits are inherited within populations. Using the famous Galápagos finches as a case study, students will be introduced to key concepts such as adaptations, evolution, and natural selection. The worksheet includes informational texts, images, and diagrams that help students visualize and understand these scientific ideas. 

After reviewing the material, learners will apply their knowledge to two different scenarios, where they are asked to identify and explain the mechanisms of natural selection at play. This worksheet not only reinforces essential concepts in biology but also encourages critical thinking and a deeper understanding of how species adapt and evolve in response to their environment.
