Students play an interactive game, Fitness Fever to learn the underlying genetic variation that natural selection acts upon. Students will: 1) learn about three single-locus traits known to be acted on by natural selection in animals, plants and bacteria; 2) rate the fitness of genotypes given an environmental context; and 3) select changes that enhance fitness of an organism....

I loved the simulation with the moths -- very realistic. I also liked all the help that was available. I will use this in my classroom.
Technical Remarks:
Students will really like the "gaming" approach to this simulation.
