Peppered moth natural selection simulation. A free interactive resource for whole-class teaching interactive whiteboards or data projectors.

A wonderful activity that shows how differing camouflage can lead to selective predation and hence a change in the population. The pupil plays the part of a predatory bird hunting for moths in the forest. Depending on whether you choose to hunt in a pre-indunstrial or post-industrial forest you willl find either the dark moth or the light moth easier to catch. Go on. Have a go. An outstanding whole-class teaching resource. Requires Macromedia Flash.
