Note from the author:
Choose one of the 3 simulation options and use it to introduce the concept of Hardy Weinberg to students. More information can be provided; this is a framework.
This sequence is designed to slowly introduce students to the formula without letting them see the actual formulae until later, to reduce math anxiety.
Simulation Option (1) Allele and Phenotype Frequencies in a Population
5
Interact freely with the simulation above, and write observations. If you are finding that your observations are aimless or confusing, view the hint for some more structure. After you’ve interacted for a bit, you can view hints for specific challenges to attempt.
Screenshot results and provide brief explanation statements about what seems to be happening in a given screenshot or what you saw.

Simulation Option 2 (Visual Calculator, Low Detail)
1
This calculator lets you visualize the effects of manipulating the recessive allele on a population's genotype and phenotype frequencies.
Manipulate the frequency of the recessive allele and make observations about what happens to the genotype and phenotype frequencies.
Can you make predictions about which genotype frequency and phenotype frequency is represented by which color?
