This hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory activity helps students understand the theory of evolution and witness the process of evolution through simulations. Students use a guided-inquiry technique as they work in groups to simulate natural selection through predation. Using different feeding tools and different-colored prey, students observe the advantages of being better adapted for the habitat. Collected data is analyzed and used to predict what future generations will be like. The final section allows students to see how different processes affect the evolution of a population of clay animals. Students will • develop the skills necessary to design and conduct a scientific investigation. • observe how natural selection affects a population. • learn how mutations, gene flow, genetic drift, and selective mating affect a population. • understand how natural selection tends to create a population more adapted for its environment.
