Online Student Lessons
Tied to state and national science standards and high school biology curricula,
these online lessons will enhance students' understanding of evolutionary
concepts.
Short Classroom Videos
Seven five-minute videos (streamed online and available on VHS) will combine
engaging storytelling with scientific inquiry to explore the fundamental
concepts of biological evolution.
Teacher Methodology Videos
Four 15-minute videos (streamed online and available on VHS) will highlight
the teaching of evolution in real classrooms around the country.
Online Professional Development Course
This eight-session online course for high school science teachers will
draw upon the broadcast series, interactive Web activities, teacher methodology
videos, and multimedia Web library to provide a vibrant, content-rich
learning experience. The course will deepen teachers' understanding of
evolutionary concepts and help them address obstacles to teaching evolution.
Free course licenses will be available beginning fall 2001. Contact us
