           Beetles


                                  Why do we need to protect
                                  more than just a few members
                                  of any endangered species?
                                  Investigate the effect of
                                  predator preference on a
                                  population of beetles over time.
                                  Observe changes in genetic
                                  diversity of small and large
                                  populations.
             Frogs


                                  Why are Poison Dart Frogs
                                  brightly coloured? Why do
                                  mimics survive?
                                  Become the predator in a
                                  predator-prey simulation which
                                  lasts up to 20 generations.
                                  Observe population trends over
                                  time.
     Peppered Moths


                                  Will a changing environment
                                  affect moth appearance in a
                                  population?
                                  Become the predator. Observe
                                  trends in a population over
                                  time. This highly-interactive
                                  experience develops
                                  appreciation of the natural
                                  selection .
