Today we are looking at natural selection and adaptations.

You should have explored the Peppered Moth website and played the game by now. If you have not yet done this, please visit the page linked above.

Hint: it may be useful to take notes!

Once you have done this, please carefully read the questions in the column to the right, and answer them as best you can in the next 'Answers' column

2. How long do Peppered Moths live for?

3. What colours can they be? (Provide the names)

4. What are their predators?

5. What helps them hide?

6. Briefly explain what caused them to develop this adaptation

7. Briefly recap Dr. Kettlewell's findings (hypothesis, observation, experiment)
