That's a pretty long discussion, but I'm going to simplify it pretty hard.
Evolution is the changes that a thing (plant, animal, etc) goes through over an extremely long time, mainly due to mutations. Blue eyes in humans did not originally exist, and were a mutation. That person with the mutation had children, and spread the blue-eyed gene.
Natural selection is the idea that things (plants, animals, etc) evolve to fit a certain role, and that things that do not fit this role either adapt or die.
For example - A bug may be running out of food in their environment. The bug has a few choices - go extinct, evolve to eat a different kind of food in their current environment, or travel to a new environment that has their food. The first two options would be natural selection - the existing bug no longer fits in the world anymore, and must adapt.

Desert animals, such as the kangaroo rat, need to conserve water. These animals have larger kidneys than do animals that live in moist environments and thus need not conserve water.
