6B - The Amazing Peppered Moth

This week we learnt all about the peppered moth and natural selection. This linked to our learning on Charles Darwin last term. We found out that it had to evolve due to the Industrial Revolution! Survival of the fittest meant that the darker moths were surviving whilst the white ones were eaten be predators because they were no longer able to camouflage against the birch trees. This was because the birch trees became covered in soot from the factories. 

6B then used what they had found out to produce wonderfully creative pieces!
