Natural selection is where an animal changes over a period of time to adapt to it's environment. For example a giraffe might not have a long enough neck to reach the top leaves on a tree so over many generations the neck becomes longer and longer until it can reach those leaves. This ties in with evolution because the giraffe is evolving to cope with it's environment.
