Description
Teach Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium with this engaging Koi Fish activity which your students will love, inspired by virtualbiologylab online simulation. The resource comes with:
 
1-page background information page about why populations evolve
discusses HW Equilibrium and principles
1 page Koi fish activity sheet
Sample answer keys
 
***See preview for sample sheets***
 
THE ACTIVITY:
 
The activity is created around a hypothetical koi fish population. Students will observe images of the population in 6 years to conclude whether or not they have evolved. This activity provides a chance for students to apply the concept meaningfully.
 
They will gather pieces of evidence, make convincing arguments, and hypothesize which Hardy Weinberg principle is being violated as new Koi fish populations emerge.
 
The story makes it more interesting and will elevate your students' curiosity. Students get to form their answers from their observations which makes it engaging.
 
***Please see details in the preview***
 
Grade level:
Grades 10 - 12
 
I truly believe this activity will be a great addition to your evolution unit and help evolve this often complex and boring topic into one that your students will find exciting.
