Year 6 Science - 24.11.21

 

Yesterday, year 6 looked at Darwin’s theory of evolution. They used different utensils to act as the different breeds of finch that inhabited the Galapagos Islands. They had to use their beaks (utensils) to see how much food they could collect to see which finch would survive with the understanding of survival of the fittest.

"So because my beak can't collect enough food, my breed of finch would die?" - Giada, Lime

"Their beaks changed over time so that they were able to survive longer, that's evolution" - Kaley, Oak

"Wow, birds have to work so hard just to get food to survive" - Molly May, Almond
