[Island Biogeography Lab Activity + Galápagos Finch Extension (AP Environmental Science / Biology)Bring island biogeography to life with this hands-on, outdoor-friendly lab that models species colonization, followed by a case study extension connecting colonization to evolution! In the seed-tossing simulation, students model how island size and distance from the mainland affect biodiversity by tossing birdseed onto chalk-drawn islands. Random chance, island size, and distance all determine whic
