Simulating Natural Selection
Product Code : JA-GAIE-6897
Simulating Natural Selection (SKU JA-GAIE-6897) is a natural selection simulation in which students recreate what happened to peppered moths as tree trunks darkened during the Industrial Revolution. Using backgrounds that match the colours of different tree trunks and peppered moth cut-outs, a game-like format shows that darker moths became more likely to survive and reproduce as the selection pressures changed. It is supplied by JaincoLab for school and college biology.
