Does anyone have any ideas of what to do with year 10 for their topic on evolution???

We are desperate for some Prac ideas...

You can model the Peppered moth scenario.
50 green toothpicks 50 red toothpick. Throw them over an area of grass. Give a class 5 minutes to find as many as they can. Count them up to see the change in the toothpick population/species. (food colouring for the toothpicks)

Just google - M&M survival challenge. It will take you to a site called Science Buddies. It involves finding M&M's on coloured sheets of paper or cardboard. Comes with a prac printout.

A big welcome Matt from us all, in lab land. I am sure you will enjoy your daily chemtalk meetings with us. That sounds like a good idea.

We do a fun prac called 'bird beaks & natural selection'......it gets pretty noisy with the kids in a feeding frenzy but it works well & they get the concept.

We do the red and green toothpicks as well - a suggestion, make up extra green toothpicks!
