What is Evolution?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Learn about the basics of the mechanism of evolution and the importance of natural selection, and examine evidence showing that we are seeing evolution playing out in every organism we encounter. In an engaging and easy-to-follow video, young scientists will gain a better understanding of Charles Darwin's ideas and hopefully walk away with a desire to know more.
