Teaching human evolution can be a topic many teachers shy away from. Depending on the type of school you teach at and your student demographic, you might come across a few obstacles. In my 10 years of teaching I haven’t had any push back or complaints from parents, but I know this isn’t the case for ... Read more

Students will learn about biological evolution and natural selection in middle school science lessons. They will learn about artificial selection.
Natural selection is one of my favorite topics to teach. Students enter the classroom with prior misconceptions and it’s fun to have students figure out what natural selection and evolution really mean. Here is a list of my favorite natural selection and evolution activities: 1. Battle of the Beaks– This lab is always a hit! ... Read more
Here are some resources and activities for teaching evolution by natural selection at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. Bird beaks This is a fun activity for demonstrating adaptive radiation in birds, as observed in finches by Charles Darwin during his famous expedition. Materials and procedure are detailed here but I use forceps, clothes…
Help your KS2 children understand evolution and inheritance with this structured sequence of lessons, including PowerPoint presentations and resources.
If I am being honest, teaching mechanisms of evolution used to be my least favorite topic to cover. It seemed that no matter how I explained it, my students just couldn't remember the five mechanisms of evolution, let alone recall that they are natural selection, gene flow, mutation, non-random mating, and genetic drift. Year after…
Some noted modern scientists have declared that human evolution is over. With advances in medicine and public health, natural selection is no longer a major shaping force for humans. Even so, it doesn’t mean that humans won’t evolve. This module explores the various directions that human evolution might take. Various influences on human evolution are discussed by way of specific examples, including artificial selection through surgical advances and how “bottlenecking” could affect the human gene pool if distant space colonies are formed in the future.
