Instructional Ideas

• Use the presentation in one class period or throughout a week of instruction
• If you don't have time for the full activity on Darwin's finches, use a handout or quick lecture to explain Darwin's discoveries

Classroom Considerations

• Matching activity is interesting and educational, but needs more explanation so kids understand why certain animals are paired together

Pros

• Provides a fun and explanatory activity in which kids experiment with tools and seeds to emulate Darwin's discovery on adaptation in finches (attached)

Cons

• None
