Population Genetics: Allele Frequency and Natural Selection
This activity asks students to explore what happens to allele frequency in a population of goldfish when environmental pressures (the introduction of a predatory octopus!) are placed on them. Students will be asked to make predictions, interpret data and allele frequencies, create a graph of the allele distribution, and (most importantly) eat goldfish. I have uploaded this in a .docx format so you can modify and differentiate for your classroom and students' needs. I recommend going through t

Rocks are set up in stations around the room with numbers and letters for example, 1B - granite
Students will go around from rock to rock for about one minute or so for each rock.
They record the number & letter of the rock (under the correct classification: igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic), then they identify if it is intrusive/extrusive, clastic/organic, foliated or unfoliated and EXPLAIN WHY.
This is one of the first labs to work on identification after students have practiced

Skittlefish Natural Selection Lab
A simple lab that uses skittles, called "skittlefish", and colored paper to illustrate the concepts of variation, adaptations, and natural selection. Students "hunt" the skittlefish and drive natural selection, causing the species to change. Students can see for themselves that no individual skittlefish changes colors, yet the species as a whole changes color. Goes well with my free Speciation google slides presentation - I have used both in one class period.
