You will explore the three factors that affect the process of natural selection.
First, you need to learn a little bit more about Darwin and his observations.
2. Many traits are passed down from parents to offspring. What animal
example was used to describe the passing of traits?

3. Why does competition in nature play a role in the survival of the fittest?
2. Why did the population of dark moths increase so drastically from 1848
to 1900? (Impact of Pollution)
3. How did the moths evolve from having a lighter color to being a darker
color? (Impact of Pollution)
Part 2: Variations

Part 4: Competition

Date: __________________
Since food and other resources are limited. The members of a species
must compete with each other to survive. A species may at times have to
compete for resources. Not all will survive
1. Describe the time frame that the birds faced the most competition. What
was their competition?
2. Draw a before and after diagram of what the beak of the Pollenkeepers
looked like during a time of low competition and high competition.
Using the information on the website and what you know about
adaptations and variations. Match the shape of the birds beak to the tool
it is similar to and the food that its beak is suitable to eat. Use the food
choice bank above to help you.
