As a review or note taking guide, this resource wraps up a unit on the tree of life. Biology bigwigs define phylogeny and answer questions about the subsequent classification of organisms. The instructional activity takes a...

This assignment conducts a thorough exploration of systematics. Clearly designed for an AP biology course, questions pertain to taxonomic categories, phylogeny, and construction of cladograms. 

Students explore how biological classification is intimately associated with evolution.

Discusses many aspects of taxonomy. Provides a lab activity where students are required to devise a classification scheme for nuts, bolts, and other hardware items.

A collection of video lectures introducing beginning biology students to the principles of evolution, ecology, and behavior. The course was taught three times a week for a semester at Yale University. The course discusses concepts of...

An extensive coverage of the evolutionary history of plants. Click on a topic in the outline and you'll go to a good discussion on this material.

Visit the virtual exhibits at this site to learn more about paleontology, the history of the earth, and life on earth. Use the information on this site to understand geology, geologic time, evolution, and phylogeny.

A detailed website that explains the history and process of classifying animals using evolutionary, molecular, and physical characteristics relationships. Website also contains information on evolution and evolutionary processes....

A self-directed module on all aspects of biological classifications that covers the species problem, diversity and chaos, cladistics, putting things in groups, and so on.

This is an advanced level review of cladistic theory and methodology. Some sections are very dense but there are useful sections for teachers and students seeking a better understanding of the topic.

Recent discovery and theroy that changes the conventional explanation for the evolution of plants.
