Evolution and Inheritance

What do you already know about evolution?

We have been learning:

To know how Mary Anning, Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace developed their ideas on Evolution.
To know that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago.
To know that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents.
To know that animals and plants can adapt to suit their environments, leading to an evolutionary change.
To know that variations occur within a species and this is sometimes due to selective breeding.
To know how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways.
