This virtual lab uses stickleback fish and fossil specimens to study evolutionary processes and teaches students skills of data collection and analysis.

Evolution can be supported by the lines of evidence which are presented in this resource. Recognize these lines: fossil evidence, homologies, distribution in time and space, and evidence by example.

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

Very detailed outline describing several aspects of plant diversity, including vascular vs. nonvascular, evolutionary adaptations, homosporous and heterosporous life cycles, and specific information on some ancient species (Lycophytes,...

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...

Through fossils scientists have been able to study the evolution of whales. Read this article to take a closer look at the details.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Fossils are the preserved remains of animals, plants, and other organisms from the distant past. By studying fossils, evidence for evolution is revealed....

Find out how fossil evidence has been the major link to learning about Earth's geologic history. See several illustrated interpretations of a geologic time scale in this online biology textbook.

Strengthen understanding of how different types of scientific evidence support the theory of evolution, including direct observation, fossils, DNA, biogeography, and comparative anatomy and embryology.

This site from BioWeb Evolution was originally created as a ThinkQuest entry, and it has some good basic information about evolution. This page is on fossils and geologic time.

The PBS site covers the Leakey family and their discoveries in Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. This information was part of a PBS exploration of human evolution.

This comprehensive essay provides a brief history of the Australopithecines an in depth discussion of the discovery of the early fossils, and a look at the ancestors of the Australopithecines.

Believe it or not, scientists were recently able to recover tissue and partial sequence information for protein molecules from a 68-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex fossil. In this genomics science fair project, you will use the T....

A collection of links to activities and lessons that could be used for Earth science concepts including the foil record, creating a timeline of Earth's history, plate tectonics, dinosaurs, and the progression of life on Earth.

Offers an easy to understand explanation of the earth's layers and the fossils we find in each layer. It explains how these are interpreted by scientists to represent the evolution of animal and plant life through the geological eras.

The Canadian Museum of Nature provides characteristics and ancient history of global coral reefs.
