A very good explanation of the scientific process and the differences between science and non-science. This is a concise and clearly written description.

This site, which is a personal site from Suzy's World by Suzy Cato, explores fossils. Find out some basic facts about fossils, including who studies them and what they are made of. A fun experiment is also included.

What is evolution? This thorough site provides the basics of evolution focusing on the history of life, processes of evolution, microevolution, macroevolution, and more.

The title could be slightly misleading for this site. It is actually a teaching and learning module on the science of cladistics. As they go through the module, students will increase their understanding of, and appreciation for, the...

For this lesson, students learn about the earth's past by studying clues that have been left behind, such as fossils and rocks. Students will find the answers to many questions: What is paleontology?, What is geological time?, What can...

A good review of the natural history of the extinct species, the Sabertooth. Includes pictures of bones of this animal.

Improve your science teaching by taking this multi-part course that gives in-depth information about what science is, how it works, and how it is intertwined with our lives and with society more broadly. The course is broken up into...

This site describes the museum. It shows the viewer what is currently on exhibit, interesting facts, and many links to other exhibits.

For this unit, students look at what is known about three dinosaurs - Maiasaura, Troodon and Orodromeus - and learn how paleontologists develop hypotheses about their behavior.

UC Berkeley offers very nice photos and descriptions of what is known about fossils of animals from this era.

Learn about what a fossil is, the different types that scientists use for study, and processes that form them. [2:57]

This home page describes what the museum has to offer. Links to the exhibits and more information is provided at the bottom of the site.

Each month a new mystery fossil is presented for students to try to identify, giving them a taste of what paleontologists are confronted with in their work.

The huge diversity of the Eukaryota is described, including what has been preserved in fossils. The section, "More on Morphology", explains the biology of eukaryote cells in detail.

The Black Hills Institute of Geological Research is a world-renowned center for paleontology. Here they describe in clear language how fossils are formed and preserved, and what information they give us about the past, particularly in...

"A scanning device most commonly seen in hospitals is reshaping the science of paleontology by allowing researchers to peer inside irreplaceable fossils without damaging them." Find out what scientists are now able to see that they've...
