Peppered Moth Simulation

Click on the link below to access the moth simulation:

Once the page loads, click on the button that says "Natural Selection Simulation"

You need to complete the game for each type of forest:

* The pre-industrial forest will have trees with a white bark as they are still clean and natural.

* The post-industrial forest will have trees with dark bark as the pollution and soot from the industrial plants has polluted the forest.

Be sure to record the precentages of light moths and dark moths before your game times out! If you miss it, you may try again- it only takes a minute. You can also repeat a forest if you like to get a better score.
