Synthetic Theory of Evolution -- Dennis O'Neil (tutorial)
How the Public Resolves Conflicts Between Faith and Science
LiveScience
(9/4/07)
From The ScoutReport.org (April 17, 2009 | Volume 15, Number 15) Evolution of Life http://www.evolution-of-life.com/en/home.html A number of groups are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the publication of "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" by Charles Darwin. This educational site, created with funds provided by Volkswagen Stiftung, celebrates this anniversary by offering videos, animations, and documents for teachers that explore the origins of life and evolution. The materials here are divided into three sections: "Observe", "Explore", and "Teach". In the "Observe" area, visitors can watch several short films, including the "O as Origin" movie, which follows a water molecule named "Piccolina" as she moves forward through time and becomes more and more complex along the way. There's also another film here that follows Darwin as he works on some of his discoveries and theories. Visitors can also elect to listen to these videos in French, English, and German, and they will also want to sign up to receive email updates when new material is added to the site. [KMG] |
