What educators are saying

Thank you so much for creating this fun lab to explain speciation. My students really enjoyed eating the candy after the lab.
Fun and easy way to understand speciation and anytime you can incorporate food, the kids are automatically engaged.

Description

Are you teaching evolution and how speciation occurs? Use this skittles lab to have your students model how species separate (in this case, through geographic and ecological isolation.) It's fun and almost no prep!

Materials needed per group: Dixie cup, skittles, and a paper towel.

Included in your purchase is BOTH a pdf printable version and an alternate Google slide version- great for lab make-ups!

Evaluate the evidence supporting claims that changes in environmental conditions may result in (1) increases in the number of individuals of some species, (2) the emergence of new species over time, and (3) the extinction of other species. Emphasis is on determining cause and effect relationships for how changes to the environment such as deforestation, fishing, application of fertilizers, drought, flood, and the rate of change of the environment affect distribution or disappearance of traits in species.
