• 00:30 A Fun Hands-on Exploration of Natural Selection in Science Class

  As part of their new SEPUP Life Science Unit on Evolution, the 7th grade class was able to connect back to their previous unit on Reproduction by investigating the role of variation in how natural selection works over time. They conducted a hands-on simulation of birds with various beak traits feeding on "Wild Loops". The students learned how natural selection works to favor certain traits that are better suited to an organism's ability to acquire food in order to have a better chance of surviving long enough to reproduce offspring, thus showing the evolution of the various bird beak traits over many generations.

  Magic Carpet
  
  You have a magic carpet
  That will whiz you through the air,
  To Spain or Maine or Africa
  If you just tell it where.
  So will you let it take you
  Where you've never been before,
  Or will you buy some drapes to match
  And use it
  On your
  Floor?
