Natural Selection Lab Report Instructions: As you complete each slide of the Natural Selection Virtual Lab Activity, please fill in this lab report with the appropriate information and data. Title: Include your name, instructor’s name, and the name of the lab Objective(s): What is the purpose of the lab Hypotheses: Include the if/then statement you developed during the virtual lab. Variables: Materials: The Natural Selection Virtual Lab Activity Natural Selection Lab Report Data and Observations: Generation Rate of Survival for White Rabbits Rate of Survival for Brown Rabbits 1 2 3 4 5 Table 1: Rabbits in the light-colored environment (continued on Page 2) Table 2: Rabbits in the dark-colored environment Generation Rate of Survival for White Rabbits Rate of Survival for Brown Rabbits 1 2 3 4 5 Conclusion: Be sure to answer the following reflection questions in the conclusion of your lab report: Were your hypotheses correct or incorrect? Why or why not? Using Table 1, which color rabbit had the higher rate of survival in the light-colored (white) environment? Explain why this occurred. Using Table 2, which color rabbit had the higher rate of survival in the dark-colored (brown) environment? Explain why this occurred. Questions: Using what you have learned from the lesson and the virtual lab activity, answer the following questions in complete sentences. How did the colors of each type of prey affect its population size over time? What color rabbit seemed to camouflage the best in this snow habitat and why? What color rabbit seemed to camouflage the best in the summer habitat and why? How do you predict the data would change if you continued? Explain your answer. What traits could help a predator be more “fit” to survive in each environment? Describe other adaptations besides color that could affect an individual’s survival. Explain what will happen if there are not enough resources to support the individuals in a species.
