In science today, Class 4 have been exploring how adaption, inheritance and changing environments result in evolution. To do this, we played the game “Who Wants to Live One Million Years?” – where you need to choose a starting population (with different traits) and try to survive 1 million years. Since evolution cannot occur before our eyes in a class period, today we’ll be ‘simulating’ evolution with a game called “Who Wants to Live a Million Years?”. There are directions and questions you must answer when you play. Those can be found using this link. Click the image or one of the links below to be taken to the game. (*iPad
