Teaching Evolution through the Hardy-Weinberg Principle: A Real-Time, Active-Learning Exercise Using Classroom Response Devices
Michael S. Brewer; Grant E. Gardner
American Biology Teacher Vol. 75, No. 7 (September 2013) pp. 476–479
Teaching population genetics provides a bridge between genetics and evolution by using examples of the mechanisms that underlie changes in allele frequencies over time. Existing methods of teaching these concepts often rely on computer simulations...
