Evolution can be supported by the lines of evidence which are presented in this resource. Recognize these lines: fossil evidence, homologies, distribution in time and space, and evidence by example.

With this article, students will be able to clarify the significance of a scientific theory and recognize that Darwin supported his theory with a great deal of evidence, and that many kinds of evidence since his time have further...

This is a great lesson plan that combines Karoytypes and evolution. Students will recognize that the chromosomes of chimpanzees and humans are remarkably similar, then correlate that to their evolutionary relationship.

Understanding Evolution provides evidence for evolution using fossils. There are also links to lesson plans.

This is a lesson designed by a biology teacher. In it, students use maps and evidence of island age, molecular genetics, morphology, and distance apart to determine how the islands came to be occupied by different species of lizards. It...

This article allows students to recognize that the process of evolution by natural selection continues to change our world and ourselves, both despite and because of our best efforts to control it.

Find out how Dr. Carl Woese used RNA to develop the tree of life.

Charles Darwin's theory that all living organisms are connected in some way has been confirmed through intense studies over centuries. Understand the similarities that bond all things living to the same family tree by checking out this...

This resource provides graphics, as well as explanation, of the remains of Homo habilis.

Discover how birds descended from dinosaurs. Learn about the evidence scientist are uncovering to find out about the origin of birds. Throughout the video, there are embedded quiz modules that test students' understanding. [18:59]

From the Evidence for Evolution Library at PBS, this is a short article about biogeography. The distribution of animals is one source of evidence for Darwin's descent with modification.

Read a description of Homo sapiens as a species, learn about the variety of Homo sapiens fossils that have been found, and discover evidence of the culture of these early people.

This in-depth article illustrates the concept of geologic time, and helps the learner understand why fossils are rare.

Immerse yourself in evidence supporting and rejecting the ideas of intelligent design.

This lesson plan requires students to analyze DNA restriction maps to determine the differences in the sequence for several primates and humans. They then use the information to create a cladogram.

This illustration from Evolution by Monroe W. Strickberger shows the remarkable similarities between the bones in the forelimbs of various tetrapods, all of whose limbs serve very different functions.

Find out how fossil evidence has been the major link to learning about Earth's geologic history. See several illustrated interpretations of a geologic time scale in this online biology textbook.

Young scholars hear a story as they "find" bones that you have put in an envelope for them. Their job is to begin assembling the bones as best they can. The students will invariably come up with different configurations--just like...
