Young scholars actively engage in the careful analysis of chromosome banding patterns and identify examples of inversion in homologous chromosomes.

Young geologists piece together the puzzle of plate tectonics in an earth science lesson. Given a physical map of the world, they search for land formations that indicate the location of different types of plate boundaries.

In this earth history worksheet, high schoolers visit a website and complete 15 fill in the blank and 8 short answer questions based on what they read. Topics include biodiversity, animal kingdoms, evolution, fossils, and extinction.

Both informative and open-ended, this presentation provides students with the features and benefits of various types of humor. The middle slides allow teachers or professors to elaborate on talking points such as the educational and...

Students evaluate the degree of chromosome similarity and difference between humans and apes. Students infer about the relationship between a human and ape based on similarities found.

Divergent and convergent evolution are explained and their differences are highlighted.

Take a closer look into the modern view of evolution. This article includes many pieces of evidence, all which support the theory of evolution.

This is a five-questions related to the passage "The Evolution of Gecko Toepads."

A multiple-choice quiz on the mechanisms of evolution.

A course lecture on how the Earth's geological features have evolved through the movements of tectonic plates. Explains the different types of plate boundaries and how they manifest in geological formations. Also describes the structure...

Read a brief, but clear description of the three evolutionary processes that occur in species over time.

This lesson plan focuses on differences in the amino acid sequence of hemoglobin and myoglobin proteins. They use the number of differences to create a phylogenetic tree.

Constructing phylogenetic trees may be a daunting task for students, but this lesson plan is a simulation of what molecular biologists must do to determine relationships. This plan is for students who have a good grasp of DNA structure...

This video segment from NOVA: "Cracking the Code of Life" explores the genetic similarities and differences among organisms.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Why connect biology and geography? This module will provide resources for students to understand continental drift theory, human population and its distribution, and...

This lesson plan involves comparison of amino acids to create a phylogenetic tree of primates. Students will also use other species information to draw conclusions about evolutionary relationships.

Have you ever wondered how closely we are related to other primates? Join this chromosone comparison adventure to compare the banding patterns of human chromosones to those of apes.
