Comment on this resource
This simulation introduces the fundamentals of evolution. Students are asked to role-play the Catchecans, a group of space sailors who are stranded upon this planet. They find that eating the dangerous fruit of the Bebbledwark tree is possible if certain behaviors are utilized. The lesson uses multiple generations to illustrate natural selection. Story graphics are provided.
