Students were very curious to see what had grown in the garden when they came back. Radishes, watermelon, cucumber, and sunflower seeds are currently sprouting, as well as certain flowers.
We are beginning our unit on adaptation and the Theory of Natural Selection. Students were introduced to the pepper moth and how it adapted over time to coal pollutants during the Industrial Revolution. We will look at other examples from Galapagos Island, and examine how Darwin formulated his Theory of Natural Selection. Students will have an opportunity to explore various animal and plant adaptations. There will be no test this week.
