This activity will simulate what occurred in the population of peppered moths during the -trial Revolution and you will answer questions and make inferences about it.

 

The Industrial Revolution was a time in Europe when there was a massive increase in industry and factories. Methods of production shifted from handicraft to machine, along with the use of new materials like iron and steel, and new energies like coal, steam engines, electricity, and combustion engines. The large number of new factories put out large quantities of smoke and created a dramatic rise in pollution.

 

The Peppered Moth population was significantly affected by the Industrial Revolution. Prior to this time period peppered moths used to be white and lightly colored and were only rarely peppered or black in color. These moths lived in a forest full of Aspen trees with light colored bark, and their light coloring allowed them to camouflage for protection. After the Industrial Revolution, scientists noticed there was a drastic increase in the number of peppered and black moths and a decrease in the number of white moths. The Industrial Revolution caused a change in the habitat of the peppered moths, and the makeup of their population shifted as a result. Scientists believe that this is due to natural selection.

 

For this assignment you will count the number of each type of moth in a set of images and then make inferences about what you notice. You will answer questions about the images and the possible causes of the shift in coloration of the peppered moth.
