Hi everyone. Just recently I've acquired an interest in science thanks to the likes of Carl Sagan, Richard dawkins, Michio kaku ect and have been struck with a particular fondness towards evolution and have decided to try a little experiment i.e to try and observe adaptation manifest itself in one way or another directly in the most practical way possible.Since I'm essentially scientifically dyslexic i was hoping i could get some suggestions on the best way to go about it, Also I'd be more than happy to post photos documenting progress if any one was interested.
anyway I've composed a somewhat vague list of questions and they are
Choice of organism - preferably something with a fast reproduction rate, Indigenous to Australia and easily visible to the naked eye
Experiment model
Suggested measurements to take before, during and after etc
Basically something along the lines of this
Artificial selection in the lab
My daughter seems interested and i thought it might make for a good hobby
anyways so let me know what you's think
