Blog Weekend Edition 1.26/27 19

Hello weekend bloggers. Over the past few weeks we have been looking at evolution and one of the main factors for evolution called natural selection. 
The link below is to Nova Labs for Evolution.

2. Click on a read the tab About this Lab 
3. Click Play Game and see how many missions you can complete. 

4. Give four facts your learned from the website, and one question that you may still have about the topic.
