🧬 Hands-On Learning in AP Biology! 🫘

AP Biology students put natural selection into action with a hands-on investigation! Students collected data, modeled how environmental pressures can affect which traits are more successful, graphed their results, and connected their observations to evolution by natural selection.

Activities like this give students the opportunity to see, measure, and analyze evolution instead of simply reading about it. 📊🔬
