One of the most famous examples of evolution happened in 19th-century England when the peppered moth population turned black. This phenomenon is interesting and causes students to wonder why moths are changing colors over the generations. These Natural Selection kits help students answer this question. The Carolina Natural Selection Kits have students read about the phenomenon in the pre-lab and make an initial claim about it; then students model 5 generations of moths, gathering evidence of genotype and allele frequencies as environmental variables change. They compare calculated Hardy-Weinberg frequencies for a population in genetic equilibrium with the observed frequencies of their model. After their statistical analysis, students revise their claim about the cause of the phenomenon. Although not available at students at home, this kit is invaluable in the classroom and gives students the ability to question, observe, and make claims about evolution and natural selection.
