Darwin's finches are small land birds named after Charles Darwin, 13 of which are unique to the Galapagos Islands. The Cocos finch, which is found on Cocos island in Costa Rica, is the fourteenth finch. During his visit to the Galápagos Islands, Darwin observed changes in the physiology of the finches living on the island, particularly in the shape of their beaks. This allowed him to deduce how these birds had evolved to survive on this island and had physical traits that were not shared by other finches around the world, which contributed to his theory of evolution. Use our Darwin’s Finches worksheets PDF to teach children about Charles Darwin and his findings on the Galapagos Islands. These biology worksheets focus on his observations of the Galapagos finches and how those findings affected his theory of natural selection.
