Lesson Comments
Rowan dove right into this one...I thought this project would be perfect for him because several times he has drawn animals that he created in his mind and asked me if I thought it was a "plausible" animal. So now he gets to create and draw several animals and apply the principles of natural selection and adaptation to them.
