Natural Selection Simulation

Since the last class, you thought about what would happen to a species that changed over time and was then faced with a large scale change in its environment. Today, we will begin by discussing your thoughts.


  1. Same habitats (for example, everyone with the "Polar Seas" habitat will gather to discuss). Your task is to evaluate each person's ideas and provide supporting or contradicting information.
  2. Present to the group
    1. Did any of your species survive?
    2. What would it take to survive? (What adaptations are needed for a species to survive?)
    3. For the organisms that did survive, what do you think would happen?
We will then go to the Satellite Lab to work on a Natural Selection Simulation.





On Friday, we will have an assessment regarding natural selection. Here are a few additional simulations that may help you out:
