General Myer Elementary School

Ms. Tompkins 4th grade class

1pm-2pm was our time frame ( extra time for set up)

How We StartedHow We Started We introduced

ourselves and the topic of the day, which was Natural Selection.

We asked and then told the class what Natural Selection was and then asked them to recall the definition after the activity .

How We Started…How We Started…

All 19 students were eager excited to participate. About 96% of the class participated.

We gave examples of Light and Dark colored Moths and also showed a visual for that.

We also gave them an example with Hummingbird’s beaks as well.

These examples were also asked to be recalled.

Our ActivityOur Activity

We separated the class into four groups, and then passed out our materials so we could get started.

The objective was to see what prey(color bead) got eaten the most with which predator(Utensil).
