Genetic Drift Bug Exploration Simulation Inquiry Activity for Teaching Evolution
Your students can listen to you as you tell them about evolution by genetic drift. But, what if they could develop their own understanding of evolution by genetic drift by simulating the process in this Genetic Drift Bug exploration activity. This activity simulates the random change that alleles get passed on to successive generations resulting in the change in allele frequencies over time in a population. Directions are included for a student-led or teacher led experience. You choose! You can

Tides Lab Using Water Balloons - Hands On Experience That Kids LOVE!
This lab is a really fun way to use discovery and investigation to teach students how gravity and inertia cause tides, along with the moon. The cost is low (a package of water balloons and yarn) and it is a great activity to get kids moving and outside. They work in small groups and go through a series of steps and procedures and record data. This was one of the most fun labs of the year for students and was instrumental is having kids understand why we have high tides on the side of the Earth c
