| One of the most creative multi-generation lessons
we've seen for teaching natural selection is Bebbledwark World,
created by Thomas Atkins (ENSI 92) and Gene Nelson, of Fresno,
California. It's a fairly elaborate classroom simulation, requiring
considerable preparation (initially), and can take 2-3 days to
carry out, but it's great fun for everyone. If you happen to
have an old Apple IIe kicking around, there's an interactive
illustrative program to accompany the lesson. This lesson, with
all instructions and materials, is now available on the web,
at its own website, at Bebbledwark World. (When you click on this,
you will leave the ENSI web site. To return, just click on the
