California Academy of Sciences: Candy Bowl Predation
In this activity, students will unknowingly act as predators on candy.
They will then discuss whether their predation was random or whether they had certain preferences. They will graph their results and determine how selective predation can impact a population and cause natural selection.
The mission of the California Academy of Sciences is to explore, explain, and sustain life.
Here you’ll find short, lively activities to focus your class trip, or full-period lessons to integrate into your yearly curriculum.
