Through informational text, interactive activities, animations, and video clips, students investigate evolutionary biology.

This lesson plan involves comparison of amino acids to create a phylogenetic tree of primates. Students will also use other species information to draw conclusions about evolutionary relationships.

These pages are part of a site called "Evolution," that accompanies a textbook by the same name. Mark Ridley is the author. Here he discusses theories for species change that were before Darwin published "On the Origin of Species."

An interactive module where students take a closer look at cells and relate their structure to function. They also discover how cell organelles work in systems to maintain important biological processes and how cells communicate.

Through informational text, online lab activities, virtual simulations, and video clips, students study the concepts of biological evolution.

These pages are part of a site called "Evolution," that accompany a textbook by the same name. Mark Ridley is the author. This section is about Darwin, his travels, and his observations that led to "On The Origins Of Species."
