  1. Hi, Ellie to its miss figure again.
  2. We're focusing on the theory of evolution today.
  3. We started looking at evolution last week, but we're looking
  4. more closely at Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
  5. And he was a man.
  6. He kind of looked like Santa Claus.
  7. But he was a man that studied how things came
  8. to be and how the environment select which organisms are
  9. gonna live and which organisms are going to die.
  10. Okay. And so we will look closely at birds.
  11. Okay, We're gonna be looking at Darwin's finches, all right?
  12. And you're going to see, um, that birds and also
  13. moths, um, have been studied by scientists to determine how
  14. the environment works.
  15. Um, how nature works to select.
  16. So this is why his theory is called natural selection.
  17. Because nature, the environment select which animals live in which
  18. animals dot So more specifically, we're gonna look like I
  19. said at the finches of the Galapagos Islands.
  20. Okay. And so Charles Darwin studied the many different types
  21. of finches.
  22. Some finches had beaks, uh, to eat seeds.
  23. Some bench finches had beaks.
  24. Thio drink the nectar out of flowers.
  25. Um, some finches had beaks to crush different types of
  26. seeds and nuts, All right.
  27. And so you'll see this, uh, Darwin's finch beaks of
  28. finches wheel.
  29. And so this wheel you're going to see all over
  30. the place.
  31. So we're getting you ready for the regions in June
  32. if it happens.
  33. So finally, after we look at our study of Darwin's
  34. finches and natural selection, you're gonna click on the calendar
  35. and do your finish up your review of the evolution
  36. Google slides and then Thio further help you understand evolution
  37. and natural selection.
  38. You can work on doing some practice questions with quiz
  39. lit they have matching.
  40. They have multiple choice, so it's fun.
  41. Don't be stressed out with it, but just enjoy yourself
  42. and learn.
  43. And finally, you'll have time to complete both your mastery
  44. assignment from last week and your mastery assessment this week,
  45. and Muzak and I will be here to help you.
