HHMI BioInteractive


Click for resource → URL

Not a very catchy name, but a fantastic web site. Videos, film guides, multimedia resources, interactives, classroom activities. You might start with Using BioInteractive.org Resources to Teach Evolution. It includes a full progression you could use to teach evolution. Also highly recommended are the lectures on evolution by Sean B. Carroll. He tells the story of Darwin’s development of the theory of evolution through natural selection.

A caveat: The materials are written for 10th-12th grades in high school. Students in adult literacy will benefit from extra support to make the materials accessible.

Note: Many of HHMI's materials are translated into Spanish, including more than 40 videos on different science topics, including COVID, climate change, genetically modified organisms, photosynthesis, evolution, DNA, etc. For example, check out Estalló el secreto: El misterioso origen del maíz. Each video includes a transcript in Spanish.
