AVIDA labs
In this project we teamed up with our eleventh grade biology class to explore the computer application Avida-ED. In this program, we worked with virtual genetic organisms and used the population settings to experiment with the offspring. In this project we focused on natural selection and what evolution is, which is where living organisms are developing from earlier forms. Growth of population in bacteria within the Petri dish based on available food was also one of the many labs we completed. As a final product we completed labs the eleventh graders set up for us and got a better understanding of the application.
