Part 4 The Peppered Moth

Go to http://www.saburchill.com/IBbiology/chapters02/028.html

Read about the peppered moth. Summarize below why the Peppered Moth is an example of evolution The following 3 parts are simulations of natural selection. Choose one, two or all three. Write a paragraph (very legible) explaining what is happening to the population in the simulation. Depending on the computer you are using not all of the simulations may work. Try all three to see what works for you!

Part 5 Sex and the Single Guppy

Go to http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/sex/guppy/index.html

Run a couple of simulations choosing the numbers of flashy/drab guppies and the number of

predators. Check results and the summary.

Part 6 Insecticide Resistance Simulation

Go to http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/esp/2001_gbio/folder_structure/ev/m2/s1/evm2s1_6.htm

Use the simulation to better understand insecticide resistance and why it illustrates natural

selection

Part 7 Evolution Lab

Go to http://biologyinmotion.com/evol/
