Natural Selection of Cereal Lab
A great way to model the process of natural selection is to have students "prey" on different colored cereal pieces, such as Fruity Pebbles, spread across colored cloths. The idea is that, depending on the color of the cloth, certain colors (traits) will be favored and will increase in frequency over time, while others will decrease.
Essential concepts:Natural selection, camouflage, predation.
