This "learning tool" allows your students
to see natural selection in action as it describes the
Rise of Antibiotic Resistance. Once you get to the page, click the
"Click to View Animation" button and then click the "Narrated" button.
Sumanas, Inc.
produced this great animation and many other conceptually concise life
science related multimedia. They know how to teach well! |

The name of this "learning tool" is called
Evolution Lab.
Students get to see evolution in action and get to really ask some
interesting "what if" questions in this clever and conceptually clear
simulation. The simulation was developed by Dr. Leif Saul and can be
found as one of the activities in
Biology in Motion. |

Challenging, elegant, and very special.
Ariel Dolan has created
eFloys. They are
territorial, have an individual personality, and the ability to evolve.
This will take your biology students a little time to master, but once
they have it, they will learn a life long lesson on behavior, evolution,
and natural selection. This one you need to read the instructions! Visit
Ariel Dolan's
Artificial Life and Other Experiments to see other cool interactives. |
