Pathways evo-edu.org

A high-school route organized around modeling, evidence, explanation, and revision.

High School Pathway

Build around modeling, evidence, explanation, and revision.

This pathway is the clearest current fit for the remediated evo-edu.org tool set: students can compare mechanisms, defend claims with run evidence, and connect model behavior to biodiversity and ecological change.

Best fit now LS4 evolution, LS2 ecosystems, and scientific practices already supported by the current platform set.
Expected work Prediction, comparison across runs, evidence-based explanation, and revision after conflicting results.

Suggested Sequence

1. Frame the question

Use the Notebook, pathway notes, or a short launch prompt to define the mechanism or system to be studied.

2. Run and compare

Use one or more apps that require parameter comparison and evidence-based interpretation.

3. Extend with evidence

Use EcoSpecies, Didactopus study prompts, and Literature Explorer to deepen interpretation and source work.

Suggested Study Packs

Didactopus Pattern

Prompt

What do you predict, and what observation would count against that prediction?

Compare

What changed across runs, and what evidence supports the explanation you now prefer?

Revise

What result would make you revise the current conclusion again?

Recommended Starting Set

Allele Tracker

Use for drift, selection, mutation, migration, and evidence from repeated runs.

Gene Flow Mapper

Use for spatial structure, barriers, dispersal, and fragmentation.

Digital Evolution Lab

Use for experimental evolution, adaptation, mutation, and evidence from controlled digital systems.
