1. Evolution is the process where living things change over many generations so their descendants can look and act differently than their ancestors. These changes can add up until new kinds of plants or animals appear.

2. Natural selection is how nature "chooses" which traits help organisms survive and have babies; those useful traits get passed on more often. Over time, this makes populations better suited to their homes.

3. The theory of evolution says all living things share ancestors and that populations change over long periods because of mutations, genetic differences, and natural selection. This explains why there is so much variety in plants and animals today.
