Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:
  • Acquire knowledge about how populations undergo evolutionary changes through adaptation to their surroundings.
  • Grasp the fundamental processes that drive evolution.
  • Comprehend the importance of evidence supporting evolution as the cornerstone of biology.
  • Address and dispel common misconceptions related to the theory of evolution.

How do virtual labs work?

Enhance students' involvement in science by immersing them in interactive learning scenarios. Create simulations for experiments, provide hands-on training in laboratory techniques, and convey theoretical concepts through captivating visual experiences to improve their overall long-term learning outcomes.

  • Access over 300 web-based simulations that are compatible with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and iPads, eliminating the need for software installation.
  • Incorporate a teacher dashboard for automated grading and monitoring of student progress.
  • Utilize embedded quizzes to assist students in mastering scientific content.
  • Comprehensive repository of educational materials, including learning resources, lab reports, videos, theory pages, graphics, and more.
