Description
Students simulate an ecosystem and the process of NATURAL SELECTION. The process demonstrates how DNA, genetics, fuels the adaptation of camouflage by allowing those best suited for the environment to survive and mate. The final round of the simulation shows the impact of human interactions and pollution on an ecosystem and the populations that live there.
A high interest, fun, hands on lab experience for students ranging from 6th-12th grade. Use as either an introduction or a review of the concept.
