1. Evolution is the slow change in living things over a very long time. These changes can make new kinds of animals and plants and come from small differences passed from parents to babies.

2. Natural selection is the way nature "chooses" which traits help animals and plants survive. Those with helpful traits live longer and have more babies, so those traits become more common over time.

3. The theory of evolution says that all living things are related and have slowly changed over millions of years because of small differences passed down and natural selection. Scientists study fossils, bones, and DNA to learn how species have changed.
