The last day of third term passed quickly as DFMS science students ate to their little bird hearts' content. Each table was an island from the Galapagos and each student (finch) had a different beak type to see which beak had the best advantage by eating the most food. This was a fun activity (I mean, can't you tell from their earnest little faces in all the pictures?!) and competition was fierce. Not to worry! No students were harmed during the making of this film. Reenacting Darwin's travels around the world, students used natural selection to measure beak changes over time. Birds, food, islands, beaches! Sounds like another great day in paradise here at Diamond Fork Middle School!
