Bird Beak Lab

In the Bird Beak Lab we backed up the knowledge of natural selection.

Hypothesis #1: If the best animals survive then, that means they get the most food and have the most kids.

Hypothesis #2: If better traits lead to more offspring then, they get the most food and have the most offspring.

In this lab we saw the realities of survival of the fittest. My hypotheses where "If the best animals survive then, that means they get the most food and have the most kids." and " If better traits lead to more offspring then, they get the most food and have the most offspring." It basically  means that the best will survive. We saw that the tweezer beak survived the best because it obviously had the most offspring. It was caused because the tweezers had the best beak for the job and it could pick up all the types of food. This gave it a huge advantage because some of the other beaks couldn't pick up all the types of food. For example the scissors couldn't pick up paper clips. I personally did not expect this because I thought the spoon would be the best but it was flat ground. One thing to improve the experiment would be to not put all the food back in the middle at the end. Also have a random death chance. This lab made me realize how survival of the fittest works and how the best survive. It relates to Darwin theory of evolution. This can be applied to learn more on how we evolved and the behaviors we have today.
