Artificial Selection Dice Lab Simulation | 6-8th Science Data Analysis Activity
In artificial selection, also known as selective breeding, farmers continuously choose seeds from the healthiest looking plants in order to grow more healthy plants, resulting in fuller, better tasting crops. Students will model this process by by rolling a die 5 times over the course of 10 generations of crops. Students start with "Grade F" strawberry plants, but they must choose seeds wisely during the simulation in order to work their way up to "Grade A" plants. Their goal is to gather as man

Ocean Acidification Reading Activity, Lab, & Data Analysis - Mollusks
Why are mollusks struggling to grow shells? This three-part activity (background reading, hands-on lab, and data analysis) helps students uncover how rising carbon dioxide levels drive ocean acidification and why this makes it difficult for shell-building organisms to survive. Students read about the chemistry behind acidification, model its effects on mollusk shells in a lab investigation, and then analyze real-world CO₂ and seawater pH data. Perfect for both Zoology and Environmental Scienc
