Pick your favorite animal and explain two traits that help it adapt and survive in its environment.

Who am I? Why am I important to science?

Charles Darwin Born in 1809 into a wealthy, well connected, and Christian family Came from a family of Doctors Joined a five-year scientific voyage on the HMS beagle He was 22 when he boarded the ship and began his journey

Darwin’s ship, the H.M.S. Beagle

The Voyage The voyage allowed Darwin to spend a lot of time on islands around South America He spent his days observing the creatures on the island and recording his thoughts

The Galapagos Islands

Checkpoint What type of flora and fauna would you expect to find in the Galapagos?

Galapagos Tortoise

Marine Iguana

Blue-Footed Booby

Darwin’s Finches...

How did these creatures help him discover anything?

Darwin’s Finches Darwin noticed that certain beaks were better at eating certain food types over others Each finch had a beak that best suited its food choice

Fitness Darwin discovered that each finch was fit for its environment In biology, fitness means the ability to survive and reproduce –What are some examples of biological fitness?

Fitness Project

How did the finches get so many different types of beaks? Why did they eat different types of food? How did their beaks become different?

Exit Ticket What controls the kinds of traits animals have? –What makes a turtle have a shell and humans have skin?
