With this FlinnEverydayScience™ lab, students model natural selection in peppered moths by acting as the predator, selecting moths to eat from two different backgrounds. They then will create their own moth that can camouflage into the provided background.
This item can only be shipped to schools, museums and science centers
Students assume the role of predatory birds capturing moths on a simulated bark background. Results show students firsthand how the moths’ population directly relates to environmental conditions and how their natural color variations affect the odds of survival. After performing the experiment and analyzing data, students build their own moths that are able to blend in using camouflage to a provided background.
This kit includes enough materials for 30 students working in pairs. This kit includes:
2’ x 2 ‘ Sheet of Leaves, 3
Light/Dark Tree Bark, 15
Peppered Moth Sheets, 15
