From NewByte Software

Simple to use software!

Software includes full Site Licence

This outstanding software allows your students to investigate the food chains and webs of one of our most common community types.

Construct hundreds of food chains and webs using the 30 organisms available. Discover the relationships between organisms by using the reproducible species information sheets or the on-line data base.

Investigate the influence of introduced species such as the rabbit, fox and cat.

 

  


 

Drosophila Genetics See On Line Catalogue for latest pricing.

 

From NewByte Software (Version 5.1 for the IBM.)

Save months of breeding with this versatile and simple to use software.

If you teach genetics by doing breeding experiments, you need to look at this software.

This breeding simulation is designed for senior students and encourages the development of skills in scientific method. As a teaching tool it may be used in a variety of teaching strategies.

Students visually count, categorise and record the individual flies, making this a realistic science experience rather than a second-hand data exercise.

69 reproducible pages contain 13 experiments to guide students through five types of inheritance.

 

Inheritance investigated includes:

Single Genes

Double Genes

Sex-linked Genes

Incomplete Sex-linked Dominance

Linked Genes and linkage distance


NEW Features include:
6 genotype display modes including Vgvg, vg+vg or +vg.
Teacher blocking of genotype, XY, linkage and dominant gene display.
Unlimited generations.
Unlimited flies in each generation.
Student involvement in the simulation is increased by physically moving flies to examine them.
Hold selected flies, then use them as the next parents.
Use labelled jars to record each fly type or just drop the fly into the morgue and record it by hand.

 


Pea Plant Genetics (Version 5)

See On Line Catalogue for latest pricing.

From NewByte Software

Make Mendel's experiments come alive.

This GENETIC BREEDING SIMULATION PROGRAM enables students to collect and analyse raw data from experiments which take only a few minutes instead of months.

 

NEW Features include:
6 genotype display modes including TpTp, TT or +t.
Teacher blocking of genotype dominant gene display.
Unlimited generations.
Unlimited plants in each generation.
Student involvement in the simulation is increased by physically moving plants to examine them.
Hold selected plants, then use them as the next parents.
Use labelled jars to record each plant type or just drop the plant into the morgue and record it by hand.


The manual in this package includes 108 reproducible pages contain 24 experiments to guide students through 5 types of inheritance.

Inheritance investigated includes:
Single Gene

Double Gene

Triple Gene

Codominance

Incomplete Dominance

From NewByte Software

Field Study Simulation

Your biology students will be able to study the physical, chemical and biological factors influencing the ocean rock platform communities of N.S.W. and Vic. using this popular software.

The ideal way to prepare your students for an excursion or field study. Use it as a comparison study to allow your students to contrast the rock platform with another environment. Easily identify zonation patterns & community relationships.

The extensive manual includes: classroom studies, computer aided studies, extensive organism profiles and more.

Study sheets include: Zonation, Adaptations, The environment, Transect studies, Transect profile & Comparison studies.

From NewByte Software

Natural selection -Peppered Moths

This simulation directly involves the student in the predation process by allowing them to prey on moths under different pollution conditions.

Your students will gain a first-hand understanding of why a population of coloured moths can be replaced by one dominated by dark colours as a result of a change in the physical environment.

Population trends observed and analysed over 20 generations.

Graph and data displays track population variations.

 


Natural selection -Frogs

From NewByte Software

This simulation directly involves the student in the predation process by allowing them to prey on frogs of different colour and poison characteristics.

Excellent for advanced studies in natural selection, this program explores the selective advantage of brightly coloured poisonous frogs. Mimicry as a survival strategy can also be studied.

Population trends are observed and analysed over 20 generations. graph and data displays track population variations.

 

 


Natural selection - Beetles

From NewByte Software

Examine the effects of predation on subgroups within a population and the effect of population size on the viability of such subgroups. Great for dealing with ecological concepts which relate to population size, diversity and evolution.

Students can alter the initial beetle population and relative predation rates of the three beetle colours. The effect of their selections can be observed and analysed over 15 generations.
