Teacher Traveler to the Galapagos

The purpose of this blog is to share my 10-day excursion to the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador) South America. Besides developing a better understanding of natural selection, a major goal of this blog is to incorporate into the classroom what I learned and experienced. Posting were shared with students, educators, parents/guardians and the public in order to publicize the importance of evolution and the vital work being done to persevere the Galapagos inhabitants.

Prologue

On March 10th, 2016 I will be arriving in Guayaquil, Ecuador and stay at the Palace Hotel. After about 1 1/2 days in Guayaquil, I'll be off to Isla de San Cristobal, Galapagos. I'll be going to Isla Santa Cruz and North Seymour Island. My hope is to observe many of the plants and animals that we talked about in class and relive some of Darwin's adventures.

Evolution is a gradual process in which something develops into a different and usually more complex or better form requiring a beneficial mutation and natural selection; in short, "Change"
