Synopsis
In this lesson, students explore the impact of environmental changes on an organism's allele frequency.
Step 1 - Inquire: Students watch a video on peppered moths and identify vocabulary related to allele frequency.
Step 2 - Investigate: Students play a game to understand allele frequency changes that can occur in species impacted by changing environments.
Step 3 - Inspire: Students explore how climate change is impacting native Arctic communities and complete a project describing how climate change is impacting animals in the Arctic.
