- - - - Activity 3 We studied natural selection and the theories of two renowned scientists, Charles Darwin and Jean Baptiste Lamarck.
        
        Activity 4: We studied the role genetic variation, the variation in the DNA sequence in each of our genomes, plays in the process of natural selection. We then completed a table on different tined forkbirds after playing a game, completed a chart, and did an analysis of our data. The main focus of this activity was mutations (A change in the DNA of a gene that may lead to a different trait.) and bird beaks, we learned how different birds beaks adapted to better eat food in their environments and how different bird beaks are more proficient for different things they need to eat.
        
        Activity 7: We looked into how new species evolved, focusing on the Galapagos Finch and their change of their beaks overtime. Finches are small birds with large variation throughout their species, they usually have small, flat beaks, however there are many different kinds present among these tiny birds. Charles Darwin had studied the variation between these finches, and their reasoning for evolving. To research this, he had been studying in the Galapagos Islands, an area heavily habited by finches to observe what adaptations these birds were making to survive the harsh environment.
        
        Activity 8: We studied the diversity of species living today, how they are related to each other, and how they are related to species of the past. We examined many timelines and graphs about ancestral species and answered some questions on them. We studied the evolution of several species, including fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, and how they became what they are today through variation and relations with one another through common ancestors.
        
        Activity 9: We looked into fossils and the evidence they provide for evolution. We organized different fossils, looked at timelines, and read about Darwin's Beetles. We had sorted the order of when certain species appeared based on fossil evidence, said fossils being a trilobite, a fern, an ammonite, and a bony fish. We learned about stratigraphic columns, defined as a diagram representing a series of rock layers.
        
        Activity 12: We looked into embryos and skeletal structures, and their use as evidence of evolution. We sorted, compared, and contrasted skeletons, examined timelines, and studied evidence towards evolution. We had also examined whales, and the series they had evolved in due to variation in their genetics.
