Natural Selection v4


           Beetles



                                  Why do we need to protect more
                                  than just a few members of any
                                  endangered species?
                                  Investigate the effect of predator
                                  preference on a population of
                                  beetles over time. Observe
                                  changes in genetic diversity of
                                  small and large populations.

             Frogs




                                  Why are Poison Dart Frogs brightly
                                  coloured? Why do mimics survive?
                                  Become the predator in a predator-
                                  prey simulation which lasts up to 20
                                  generations. Observe trends in a
                                  population over time.


     Peppered Moths



                                  Will a changing environment affect
                                  moth appearance in a population?
                                  Become the predator. Observe
                                  trends in a population over time.
                                  This highly-interactive experience
                                  develops appreciation of the
                                  natural selection .
