Science! Big Idea: Evolution

Science Big Idea: The diversity of organisms living and extinct is the result of Evolution

We are learning about the scientific perspective of how our world was created, this is called Evolution. We know that Evolution is change over time. This could be the change in organisms, land, and/or technology.

We have learnt so far about adaptation. Adaptation is when species learn to survive in their environments and often change/adapt. Sometimes natural selection (survival of the fittest) means that only the species that can learn to adapt to their environment will survive and therefore evolve.

As a part of our research about evolution/change over time we have looked at fossils! 

Fossils are the remains of the organisms that are no longer alive. Some of the fossils we have been looking at show us organisms who are now extinct. We have learned that the further down the layers the older the fossils are. Fossils also show how species have changed over time. Scientists are able to gather and interpret data and compare fossils from then and now to notice the differences.

We even had a go at making our own fossils!
