Lesson outcome

I can explain the theory of evolution by natural selection.

Show transcript
Natural selection can cause the common characteristics of a species to change (evolve) over generations. Scientists explain evolution using the theory of evolution by natural selection. A scientific theory is a general explanation, developed from evidence, that explains many different examples. Evolution is not planned in advance; new advantageous features appear randomly and are maintained by natural selection. Changes in the features of an individual within its lifetime are not evolution.
