Using Aipotu simulation to promote evolution learning and teaching

Abstract

In this article, we present the simulation software called Aipotu and we propose a way to use it in order to promote Evolution Learning and Teaching. Through activities, included in a worksheet, students gradually gain new knowledge not only on evolution and its genetic base but on the concept of simulation and scientific modeling as well. Aipotu is offered free of charge through a web page, so that it can be used at any time and place.
