The activity is created around a hypothetical koi fish population. Students will observe images of the population in a 6 year period to conclude whether or not they have evolved. This activity provides a chance for students to apply the concept in a relatable and meaningful way.

They will garther evidences, make convincing arguments and hypothesize which hardy Weignberg principle is being violated an new Koi fish populations emerge.

The story makes it more interesting and will without doubt elevate your students’ curiousity. Students get to form their own answers from their own observations which make it engaging .
