Outlines the events of Charles Darwin's own evolution into a scientist and how he developed his Theory of Evolution. Also discusses the immense resistance to his ideas that he faced from all fronts. Even today, many people refuse to...

An interview defining the correlation between climate change and speciation. Resources for support and for educators are offered.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Overview of the basic concepts behind evolution.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explains how natural selection favors certain traits in a population so that the organism adapts to its environment, and that changes in the genes over time cause...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Summarizes the key points about three theories in Earth Science: the theory of evolution, the theory of plate tectonics, and the theory of climate change due to...

Discovery School provides a lesson plan on evolution by having students make a timeline of the history of evolution. This timeline will have dates and, above or below the dates, will provide details about the people who have played major...

Students learn about inheritance, evolution, and ecosystems. Some topics explored in the tutorial are five kingdoms, respiration, energy transfer, and nutrient cycle.

An informative study, in Spanish, of the history of the Spanish language, its origins, its evolution, and its history in America. There is also an article about the Argentine adaptations of the language, and another link that covers the...

The atmosphere has not always been the same. It has been much the same, but nevertheless now contains more nitrogen and oxygen, and less carbon dioxide, than it did when the earth first formed. Recently, the addition of greenhouse gases...

Pests evolve resistance to our pesticides at an alarming rate. However, evolutionary theory tells us how we can slow the rate at which genes for pesticide resistance spread: by providing refuges where non-resistant insects thrive....

This Evolution lesson uses edible materials to demonstrate how a mimic acquires survival advantage. This particular lesson provides students an easy approach to learn and retain this information.

This activity will help you understand the relationship between different species, and show you how we (humans) are related to other species. A link to a worksheet and answer key are provided.

Transcripts from the Big History Project videos. Find information about all the videos offered in this unit.

Discover the evolution and change of plants over time.

Try this quiz about fossils and evolution.

In this activity, students will use their observation skills to find the physical variation in several individuals from one species.

A unit guide for teachers who want to use the Big History Project. Unit includes resources on how life began and changed, how do Earth and life interact, and evolution.

Explore the molecular evidence for evolution.

A gallery of information about our human ancestors. Explore this page to find the genetic differences and similarities between humans and other species.

Explore the classification and evolution of mammals.

What does competition for food do to a population? Experience what happens to a rabbit population with limited resources in this virtual ecosystem. At the end of the exercise, there are questions relating to concepts reviewed.

A virtual lab that explores how offspring inherit different traits from their parents. Investigate these traits both in animals and plants. Understand that variations in offspring can lead to traits that allow survival. Lab includes...

A virtual greenhouse to study how plants adapt to live in different environments. Students will "plant" three different types of plants that thrive with different amounts of sunlight. Lab includes questions that could be saved and graded...

The paper "Better Biology Teaching by EmphasizingEvolution & the Nature of Science" includes Modern Science & Uncertainty as one of the four major themes the authors advocate in the teaching of biology.
