Great feedback! I added an example of Acacia thorn length, and I'll plan on adding other examples (but keeping the giraffe example as well) to the other grade levels. I'm thinking doing mosquito pesticide resistance in 7th and peppered moths in 8th, but if you have any other suggestions for those, I'd welcome them!

Update on this - we've followed the same pattern for the natural selection visuals for 7th Grade (peppered moth), 8th Grade (pesticide resistance), and Biology (hummingbird/flower co-evolution)
