About this Simulation

Antibiotic Dice models how bacterial populations develop antibiotic resistance through repeated exposure. Using dice rolls to represent random mutations and survival, learners visualise population changes across generations. The simulation displays real-time graphs and data tables, helping students understand the mechanisms of natural selection and resistance evolution in a tangible, interactive way.

Learning objectives: Understand how antibiotic resistance emerges through natural selection in bacterial populations | Analyse the relationship between mutation frequency and resistance development | Explore the impact of repeated antibiotic exposure on population genetics
