Darwin Day is a special day celebrated on February 12th to remember Charles Darwin, a famous scientist who taught us about evolution, which is how animals and plants change over time to survive. On this day, people learn about science and nature, understanding how all living things are connected. It's a bit like celebrating a scientist's birthday by discovering cool facts about the world around us. Schools and science centers might have fun activities, like games or experiments, to help us learn more about the amazing diversity of life on Earth.
