Darwin's Delights

Charles Robert Darwin was a very famous naturalist who came up with the theory of evolution. He went on a 5 year voyage on the HMS Beagle to islands like the Cape Verdi islands and the Ascension islands. Most of his specimens were from the famous Galapagos island.

DARWIN

Evolution and How Darwin Discovered it.

Evolution is where an organism changes over

thousands of years. Humans evolved from

monkeys over hundreds of thousands of years.

To discover it Darwin found many specimens

from the many islands he went to. He looked

at fossils and then compared them to creatures

now and compared the same species on one

island to those on another. He also knew that

the world evolved too because he found the

fossil of a sea creature high up in a mountain.

Microorganisms

good

bad

Viruses

Mould (sometimes)

bacteria

algae (sometimes)

Yeast

bacteria (in your stomach to help digest food)

algae (to source food for fish)

Microorganisms are living things too small to be seen by the human eye. Some are good and can help to make food but some can make you ill. The reason algae is sometimes bad is that it blocks out light that other plants need to grow.

This is Charles

Microorganisms are separated into different

classes. This is a diagram of the classes.
