The document provides an overview of key concepts in natural selection including:
- Natural selection is the process by which organisms with certain traits that increase survival and reproduction tend to produce more offspring, often leading to changes in a population over time.
- Charles Darwin gathered evidence such as observations of finches on the Galapagos Islands with different beak shapes tied to food sources that supported his theories of evolution and natural selection.
- Adaptations are traits that increase an organism's chances of survival in its environment through acclimation or heritable genetic changes over generations.

Unit 1: Guided Lecture Notes
Natural Selection Fill in the Blanks The process by which with certain traits tend to produce more offspring than do individuals without that trait, often leading to a change in the .
Circle the organism that survive and
reproduce? Why do other organisms not reproduce?
Charles Darwin What evidence did Charles Darwin use to come up with this theories of evolution and natural selection? 1. 2. 3. Darwins Finches There were species of finches on the
Islands.
Birds that ate insects had which type of a beak?
How did beaks play a role in determining environment?
What does this mean to science?
Unit 1
Get into groups of two and come up with two idea of how science might have changed after Darwin presented his two theories to the world.
What questions might you ask Darwin?
Evolution Fill in the Blanks Each the species change by a small amount to their chances of survival. Over time the many changes become a change. Adaptation What are the three requirements of adaptation? 1. 2. 3. What is acclimation?
How is acclimation not the same as an adaptation?
How do different organisms adapt?
Unit 1 How does each of these organisms adapt to their environment, and how does it help them survive? (Images below) 1. Artic Fox 2. Cacti 3. Great White Shark
How are natural selection and adaptations related?
In what ways is natural selection show with the example of the neck of the giraffe?
Unit 1
Activity Get into groups of two Think of the following scenario, and decide which species would survive longer and what adaptation was present In a habitat there are red bugs and green bugs. The birds prefer the taste of the red bugs, so soon there are many green bugs and few red bugs. The green bugs reproduce and make more green bugs.
