Understanding Evolution goes public(page 1 of 2) |
||
The University of California Museum of Paleontology, in partnership with the National Center for Science Education, is
pleased to announce a new comprehensive website on evolution developed especially for teachers. Its purpose is to provide
content and resources for teachers at all grade and experience levels in order to facilitate the teaching of evolution. The
site was funded by the National Science Foundation and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and was developed by a team of
scientists, graduate students, and teachers working together to respond to the needs of K–12 teachers.

One of the Quick Quizzes provided for teachers to assess their learning. Clicking on a student reveals their question. In the History of Evolutionary Thought section (above), one can first zoom in on a portion of the “tree,” and then jump to a page (or pages) on any of the big ideas that led to today’s interpretation of the evolution of life.
