Activities

Now that you've built the components you need for the Field Population System, try these activities to further your understanding. First read the instructions and perform the activity. Then you can go to our discussion board to share your results, and for selected activities, view an example of our results in track our progress.

• Assessing Variation... Observe how individuals in a population of Brassica rapa plants vary from one another. [track our progress]
  
  
• Selective Herbivory... How selective are the larvae of the cabbage white butterfly on the plants that they eat? [track our progress]
  
  
• Salt of the Earth... Do your own investigation and perhaps do some selective breeding!
