I tried this practical activity last week with my Y12s. They really enjoyed it , were fully engaged and really understood the concept of how different beaks are better at picking up certain types of seeds. Part two where there were only big and little seeds really allowed them to understand why some of the finches survived and others didn't. All the members of my Biology Dept wanted to know what I was doing. Consequently I have forwarded the task to them so they can try it this week. Thank you for such a great idea. MN
