An outstanding collection of materials for learning about Charles Darwin and Evolution. There are many different lessons on the topics of evolution, paleontology, biodiversity, and adaptation. Each lesson is paired with an actual New...

The purpose of this lesson is to prepare students for exploring the biological basis of vaccines. Students will explore the nature of viruses, specifically their structure and ability to adapt through evolution.

This website provides information required for a hands-on program that enables students to work alongside active museum curators, postdoctoral researchers, and collection managers. The programs will teach students to identify, classify,...

Through informational text, online lab activities, virtual simulations, and video clips, students study the concepts of biological evolution.

Did you ever want to be a hawk? In this virtual ecosystem, students will take on the role of a hawk and try to catch rabbits on a snowy field. Students will see which rabbits have adaptations that allow them to blend into the environment...

Evolution, natural selection, sexual selection, coevolution, convergent evolution, mimicry, and coloration, are the topics examined in this thorough site. Assess your comprehension of the material presented by delving into the learning...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Meet Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution and natural selection. Understand why adaptations are important.

This effective site focuses on how structural and behavioral adaptations help organisms survive and reproduce.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about how animals adapt through evolution and how some plants and animals are becoming extinct.

This landing page includes learning modules on the following topics of: animals, plants, microorganisms, life cycles and reproductions, food chains, habits, humans and the environment, adaptation, inheritance, and evolution.

This lesson plan incorporates many subjects! Learners create a flow chart after studying the "Evolution," of computers. Also provides adaptations and references to use. (To access this lesson plan, you must register with Crayola.com....

This graphic illustrates some of the marsupial mammals in Australia and placental mammals in North America. Even though they are not closely related, these mammals look alike because they have adapted to similar ecological roles. From...

This lesson will introduce the concept of evolution and describe how and why organisms evolve.

Experiment with variations in grass to see which size grows best with different amounts of water. Understand that grass that can live in different levels and change to its environment has a better chance of surviving. Also, experiment...

Learn about our similarity to apes, and how they solve their problems so peacefully at times but humans, the more "advanced" species, can behave so primitively. [7:02]

Video discusses the concept of evolution and the five processes that can cause it to happen. [5:24] Includes a brief quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.

Five multiple-choice self checking quiz questions about plant evolution and adaptations.

These pages are part of a site called "Evolution," that accompanies a textbook by the same name. Mark Ridley is the author, and in this section he discusses the evidence for evolution.

A multiple-choice quiz on the mechanisms of evolution.

The Evolution and the Nature of Science Institute offers lesson plans that investigate the vestigial organs in such a way as to better explain their imperfections as proof of evolution rather than the result of "intelligent design."

Young scholars use mathematical representations to support explanations of how natural selection may lead to increases and decreases of specific traits in populations over time.

See how fossils have shown evidence of evolution throughout the history of the Earth.

Research continues to discover evidence left behind by prehistoric man. Discover the climate effects on human evolution and explore how the adaptable survived. The Asian and East African Research Projects in Kenya are described. You,...

Genitals are the fastest-evolving organs in the animal kingdom. Menno Schilthuizen explains how the evolutionary biology of nature's nether regions uncovers a hidden world of seduction, conflict, and rivalry.
