Teacher Comments on the Origin of Life Module:

This educational program is exceptional. The introduction of the first module, “The Origin of Life” set a pace of instruction that no biology textbook to date has done. The use of animation and short videos to present the instructional material captured the attention of the students. In today’s age, they are fascinated by computer technology. The sheer fact that science can utilize this mode for a smooth course of learning and, hopefully, “wetting the appetite” for a future career in the sciences is phenomenal.

The Origin of Life Module is fantastic. I use the whole module for my advanced biology classes to discuss the origin of life. The activities are excellent because they include all types of evidence for life. Also the student reader is an excellent source for new ideas about the origin of life.

Student Comments on the Origin of Life Module:

What I like best about this module was how scientists investigate the origin of life because scientists explain their theories.

The different activities, movies, and projects helped me understand new ideas in an easy and fun way to learn, instead of reading textbooks.

I enjoyed learning about DNA because I never understood how it worked in Jurassic Park.

I like learning the difference between mitosis and meiosis because I always hear these words but never knew what they meant.

In this module, I liked learning the difference between single celled organisms and multi-celled organisms.
