Charles Darwin Survival Game – Link Updated

Screen Shot 2015-03-13 at 11.11.19 AMWill your species survive for a million years? Will it survive a viral outbreak, meteorite impacts, predators, temperature changes, and changes in food sources?

In this natural selection simulation, students will choose 3 individuals as their starter population. What traits do they think will increase the chances of survival for their species? Long legs? Long necks? Stripes? Furry or bulky bodies? Only time will tell!

My 6th graders enjoyed playing this game and many were much more successful than I was 🙂

        The link is dangerous to download in any computer. That’s the sign that appears in my computer and that’s the reason why my school’s tech department didn’t want to give acces. Is there something we can do about it?

        That’s too bad, it didn’t need to be downloaded before, I removed the link until I find a replacement. Thank you for letting me know. ~Liz
