...Özlem Yıldırım; Ayla Karataş; Remzi Yıldırım Computer simulations provide students the opportunity to observe and interact in realistic biological experiences. This designed simulation, “The Trio of Genetic Diversity,” made it easier for students to grasp the reasons for genetic diversity. During...

... context, and historical happenstance. Students simulate the evolution of a population of tin cans, based on temperature retention/loss in either arctic or hot desert habitats. Chance and necessity interact in separate lab groups (as isolated populations), based on similar starting organisms. The process...

... developed a hands-on, discussion-based activity for the middle school science classroom to demonstrate biomagnification and connect it to food webs and trophic pyramids. Each student represents an aquatic organism, and together students simulate the consumption and excretion processes in an aquatic food...

... those explanations, or develop a more mechanistic intuition for inheritance and change in the world they see around themselves. Here we put forth all the tools necessary for a class to build a simulation of an evolving population experiencing natural selection from scratch in a Google Docs spreadsheet...

Published: 01 September 2017
...Lace A. Svec Undergraduate introductory biology students at the university level often struggle to trace movement of matter and energy through catabolic and anabolic processes in biological systems. A sequential guided simulation of cellular respiration and photosynthesis provides students...

... alleviate this problem. In this guided investigation of evolutionary mechanisms, students use LEGO bricks to simulate how mutation, migration, genetic drift, and natural selection can affect the evolution of a population. This exercise was undertaken and assessed with college introductory biology students...

... concentration by the dilution. For example, if you start with a sample that is 5 mg/mL NaCl and you dilute it 1:1000, then 5 mg/mL × 1/1000 = 5 × 10 −3 mg/mL, or 5 g/mL. In this lab, we will start with an unknown amount of beads and simulate a serial dilution so that you will be able to visualize what...
