    This document is a 9th grade biology worksheet about natural selection and evidence of evolution. It includes warmup questions about differences between tortoises and birds on the Galapagos Islands. The main topics covered are the principles of natural selection, including that organisms well-suited to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more, passing on their beneficial traits. Over time, this process can lead to the formation of new species that are descended from common ancestors.
