You can play this game (it may take a round or two to get used to it) to practice with adaptations!
This simulation allows you to manipulate a rabbit population.
At this site, you can learn about natural selection and play "Who Wants to Live A Million Years?" where you respond to changing environments. Afterwards, take the quiz provided!
Cane toads are an excellent example of an organism that has underwent rapid evolution in the last century (you can also use them to examine co-evolution).
One final resource you may be interested in ties in Topic 3 (Classification) as well. Here, you can build phylogenetic trees while studying different organisms. Feel free to join as a guest. While progress is not saved, you can still complete the activities.
