Year 6 - Darwin’s Beak Experiment

Year 6 - Darwin’s Beak Experiment 

 

Year 6 have been learning about Darwin’s theory of evolution and how adaptations impact the survival of living things. Last week, we channelled our inner finches and explored the way that different beaks impact a finch’s ability to collect food. We used a range of beaks (including chopsticks, tongs and tweezers) and tested how well we were able to collect a range of different food sources - including oats, blueberries and tasty gummy bears! Have a look at the pictures to see how we got on!
