Viral Replication Simulation

The video tutorial describes a classroom simulation of viral replication using Moodle, Google Docs, and dice. The simulation starts with a few infections and tracks the spread and mutation of the virus. Students engage by rolling dice to determine infection spread and mutations. The simulation results in multiple virus strains, demonstrating concepts of viral spread and mutation. The teacher reflects on the educational value and potential improvements, such as incorporating natural selection.

What observations did the teacher make regarding the behavior of students during the simulation?

Explain how mutations were determined in the simulation.

How could the simulation be modified to include natural selection?
