Are you looking for a hands-on, inquiry-based lab for your middle school students that demonstrates natural selection? This lab will do just that as it guides students to act as birds in a forest as they prey on skittles to see how the adaptation of camouflage helps a species survive. They will then collect data to see how the organisms with the fittest traits survive. The lab can be completed in one day and the graph and reflection questions will most likely take a second day to complete.

The simulation activity includes warm up questions, step by step instructions, a data table, line graph, and reflection questions. Students also use math skills to calculate population percentages and display them on a line graph.

Materials needed: skittles & green paper or green napkins (optional: polka dot napkins)

An answer key is included.

Your students will:

• Engage in visual and hands-on learning
• Apply knowledge
• Practice concepts 
• Collect data
• Analyze data
• Draw conclusions
• Use math skills
• Explore real world application of science knowledge

This activity includes 25 images that make up a large animal cell, meant to display on a bulletin board or on the wall.

All images include numbers so that students are using a consistent color code. If a student's image does not include a number, they will have to talk with their classmates to determine what colors they need to be using. This really encourages TEAMWORK and COMMUNICATION.

How to Use This Product (page included with purchase):

• Print out the 25 images from the pdf document
• Pass out the “Animal Cell Collaborative Poster Guide” that includes the color code
• Once students have the coloring completed, arrange images according to the table included. The correct corresponding position can be found on the top left corner of each image

Thank you for checking out my product! This makes a great review activity or for a sub plan!  It has three parts to it.  The first is an abiotic / biotic sort where the students drag each factor to the correct box.  The second is primary and secondary circles with scenarios presented and the students have to cut and paste the scenario in the correct circle.  The third is pioneer species.  There are six pictures, and the students have to move the correct pictures into the pioneer species rectangle.

This is a google slide so you could embed into a canvas assignment and each student could do it and then submit it.  It could be shared and then each student would have to make a copy in order to work in it then submit their own copy.

20 pages, 5 lessons, notes, activities and homework included!
