Inquiries in Science® Biology Series - Help your students understand hard-to-grasp science concepts. Using a learning cycle of engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate, each kit features lab activities designed to actively engage students in learning essential science concepts through guided inquiry. Topics addressed by the kits were organized and selected based on data from numerous sources, including the National Research Council's National Science Education Standards, AAAS's Project 2061 Science Benchmarks, NAEP's Science Framework, and state science education standards from across the US.

The Simulating the Darwinian Theory Kit includes: Lab supplies plus a teacher’s manual with instructions Background information Reproducible student sheets Student questions Extension activities Suggestions for differentiated instruction Kit Refill replenishes consumed materials.

A Carolina Exclusive! Grades 9–12. Allow students to explore the theory of evolution and witness the process through simulations. Students use a guided-inquiry technique as they work in groups to simulate natural selection through predation. Experiments address natural selection, variety within species, overpopulation, genetic variability, and gene pools.

• Observe how natural selection affects a population
• Learn that mutations, gene flow, genetic drift, and selective mating affect a population
• Provide cross-curricular integrations such as math and graphing

Part of the Inquiries in Science™ series. Materials are sufficient for 30 students working in groups.
