Battle of the Beaks 3, 2, 1

                  Battle of tne Beaks   :3,2,1, 
1.  The beaks were less sharp
2. As rhe time past they became more roundand larger.
3 .Less curves on the beaks in earlier years  Our question is Why   don"t the beaks have less round shape?  Why did the shape of the beaks change?     What we learned was the bird beaks shape has changed.    Our hypothesis is : Over time the beaks change and adapted to fit their needs and environment for food and protection.

Battle of the Beakes

We predict that the big beaks will do better during a drought than small beaks because they can eat both large and small seeds.

How does the change in environment affect which beak gathers more seeds? Explain 
Lack of water changes the amount and size the seeds produce.

Did the small beak bird try to adapt due to the environmental changes? Explain. 
Yes, it tried to break it into smaller pieces.

How did variation in the population (the fact that there were large and small beaks) of birds help or hurt the bird’s ability to survive?
If the large beaks eat all the seeds than the little one would not have any.

Chromosomes, DNA, and genes.

CHROMOSOMES - Made up of DNA wrapped around proteins to fit in a cell.
DNA - Entire code for all traits.
GENES - Contain a  specific trait.
