Teacher Comments on the Evolution of Life Module:

The Evolution of Life curriculum successfully ties together biochemistry, cell biology, ecology, and genetics by exploring all of life through the lens of evolution. Lessons are well planned to the last detail, and the integration of technology and scientific reasoning skills is masterful and effective. My students loved the computer-based explorations!

- Julie Reis, Abraham Lincoln HS, San Francisco, CA

My students really liked about the Evolution of Life Module was the number of hands on activities that they got to do. As a teacher I liked the variety of activities and lessons, as well as having all the pictures, diagrams and activity guides available on my computer to place into my daily presentations to the class.

The lessons on biodiversity are fabulous. My kids say, “Wow, I didn't know there were that many different kinds of creatures!”

Student Comments on the Evolution of Life Module:

I enjoyed the different projects we had to do that dealt with taking evidence and information, then answering questions and figuring out problems with it. The hands on activities gave me a better understanding and really let me think through the concepts and ideas which makes them sink in.

- 10th grade student at Grangeville HS, Grangeville, ID

The activities helped quite a lot and were very fun. I think the 5 week project on organisms was also a really good learning opportunity. It was a little hard but without it, I wouldn’t have learned so much about the classification of organisms.

My favorite part was when we debated divergent and convergent evolution with the birds.

- 10th grade student at Grangeville HS, Grangeville, ID

I liked learning about the sources of variations and evolution. I liked how we learned about how a species can be separated from their own kind then evolve into another species.
