WRAP IT UP.....

WOOLYBURGER LAB continued....

Natural Selection = 
        Survival of the Fittest
read this article then continue....
Background:  You and your team are crewmembers on the Beagle in 1831.  Darwin has asked your team to assist him in collecting data on a strange and unusual bird that he has discovered on the Galapagos Islands.  He has called this bird the woolybooger.  Darwin and your team search the islands and find three different populations of this creature.    During your observations of these three populations, you discover that each group is similar in appearance except for mouth variations.  Some woolyboogers have a knife-shaped mouth, some have a clip-shaped mouth, and some have a tweezer-shaped mouth.  All of the birds have migrated to an island that only has dried beans for them too eat and the hours of daylight needed for finding food is steadily decreasing due to the change in seasons.
            Darwin and your team study the woolybooger’s life on the Galapagos Islands.  During your last few months on the islands, you discover a new rare woolybooger, which has a spoon-shaped mouth.  On the Beagle, Darwin and your team discuss which beak type of woolybooger will survive the best on the island and how the population of woolyboogers will change over time or evolve.
