Natural selection is like nature's way of picking the best traits to help living things survive. Let’s break it down:
Variation: In a group of animals or plants, there are different traits. For instance, some rabbits might be faster than others.
Survival and Reproduction: The faster rabbits can run away from predators better, so they are more likely to stay alive and have baby rabbits.
Inheritance: The traits from the faster rabbits get passed down to their baby rabbits.
After a while, more and more rabbits will be fast because of this!
