Many people oppose genetically modified foods yet support selective breeding in dogs. Learn about the similarities and differences through a short presentation that features many video clips. It covers natural selection, artificial...

Evolution occurs though change over time, but can it go any faster? Scholars speed up the process of evolution and observe a simulation of 20 blue organisms fighting for survival. A graph displays the changes in phenotype over time. By...

In this viruses and evolution worksheet, students read an article on line about the avian flu virus and its evolutionary changes. They answer ten questions about the article including topics such as natural selection, mutations...

Connect Mendelian genetics with Darwinian theories. An interactive lesson lets pupils explore how George Shull used research from other scientists to explore genetic variation. The resource outlines the statistical analysis of genetic...

In this online interactive history learning exercise, students respond to 9 short answer and essay questions about Charles Darwin. Students may check some of their answers on the interactive learning exercise. 

Explore natural selection by controlling the environment and causing mutations in bunnies.

Build a dam in the middle of an ecosystem and observe how the population of plants and animals adapt to their new environment with this science simulation. Learn how the populations adapt to survive in their new habitat. Then remove the...

Investigate how selection pressures and natural selection influence populations growth with this computer model. Understand how a population changes when selection pressures are in conflict. Perform the virtual lab to see what happens to...

This page has a Java simulation that demonstrates allele frequency and natural selection. Choose various numbers for this simulation and run the experiment.

You are a bird hunting moths (both dark and light) that live on trees. As you capture the moths most easily visible against the tree surface, the moth populations change, illustrating the effects of natural selection. (Free usage is...

Explore the evidence of evolution with this interactive worksheet based off of NOVA's Evolution Lab. This resource is designed to be completed while playing through the Evolution Lab game and contains multiple choice and free response...

Teach aliens about evolution as you play this game, and review your own understanding in the process. Topics covered include evolutionary mechanisms, evidence of evolution, natural selection, reproductive isolation, population genetics,...

An interactive game where students answer questions pertaining to evolution to win the shootout.

Create a Snurfle and see whether it can survive in different environments. As you play the game, you will learn about natural selection and animal adaptations. At the end of the game, try the multiple-choice quiz to check your...

Did you ever want to be a hawk? In this virtual ecosystem, students will take on the role of a hawk and try to catch rabbits on a snowy field. Students will see which rabbits have adaptations that allow them to blend into the environment...

Stebbins is a game about evolution. Students collect data as predators eating colored circles on a colored background, being careful to avoid the poisonous ones. Data analysis reveals how the population changes color over time, and can...

Explore isolated volcanic islands. Charles Darwin's observations and collections of the Galapagos wildlife in 1835 contributed to his theory of evolution by natural selection. [7:08]
