Evolution Site - Teaching About Evolution

Despite the best efforts of biology educators, misconceptions about evolution remain. People who have absorbed the nonsense of pop science often believe that biologists don't believe in evolution.

This rich website - companion to the PBS series - provides teachers with materials that support evolution education and avoids the kinds of misinformation that can undermine it. It's arranged in a nested "bread crumb" format to make it easy for navigation and orientation.

Definitions

It is difficult to properly teach evolution. People who are not scientists often have a difficult time understanding the subject, and some scientists even use a definition which confuses it. This is particularly relevant to discussions about the definition of the word itself.

It is therefore crucial to define the terms used in evolutionary biology. Understanding Evolution's website does this in a simple and 에볼루션 슬롯 efficient manner. It is an accompanying site for the 2001 series, and also a resource on its own. The information is presented in an organized manner that makes it simpler to navigate and understand.

The site defines terms such as common ancestor and gradual process. These terms help frame the nature of evolution and its relation to other scientific concepts. The website provides a summary of the ways that evolution has been tested. This information will help to dispel the myths created by creationists.

It is also possible to access a glossary of terms that are used in evolutionary biology. These terms include:

Adaptation: The tendency of hereditary traits to become more adaptable to a specific environment. This is a result of natural selection. Organisms with more adaptable characteristics are more likely than those with less-adapted traits to survive and reproduce.

Common ancestor (also called common ancestor): The most recent ancestor shared by two or more species. By studying the DNA of these species it is possible to determine the common ancestor.

Deoxyribonucleic acid: A huge biological molecule that contains information required for 에볼루션 무료 바카라 슬롯 [to www.daoban.org] cell replication. The information is stored in sequences of nucleotides that are strung together to form long chains, also known as chromosomes. Mutations are responsible for the creation of new genetic information inside cells.

Coevolution: A relationship between two species where evolutionary changes in one species are dependent on evolutionary changes in the other. Coevolution is evident in the interaction of predator and prey, or parasite and hosts.

Origins

Species (groups which can interbreed) develop through a series natural changes in the traits of their offspring. Changes can be caused by numerous factors, like natural selection, gene drift and mixing of the gene pool. The development of a new species may take thousands of years and the process may be slowed down or accelerated due to environmental conditions, such as climate change or the competition for food or habitat.

The Evolution site follows the evolution of various animal and plant groups and focuses on major changes in each group's history. It also explores human evolution and is a subject that is of particular interest for students.

Darwin's Origin was written in 1859, when just a handful of antediluvian fossils of humans were discovered. The most famous among them was the skullcap and bones that were discovered in 1856 in the Little Feldhofer Grotto in Germany, which is now known as an early Homo neanderthalensis. Although the skullcap was not published until 1858, a year before the first edition of the Origin was published, it is extremely unlikely that Darwin had ever heard of it.

The site is mostly an online biology resource however, it also has many details on paleontology and geology. The website has several features that are especially impressive, including a timeline of how climate and geological conditions have changed over time. It also has an interactive map that shows the location of fossil groups.

While the site is a companion piece to a PBS television series but it also stands on its own as a valuable source for teachers and students. The site is well-organized, and provides easy links to the introductory material of Understanding Evolution (developed under the National Science Foundation's support) and the more specialized features of the museum website. These links make it easier to move from the cartoon style of Understanding Evolution pages into the more sophisticated realms of research science. In particular, there are links to John Endler's experiments using Guppies that demonstrate the importance of ecology in evolutionary theory.

Diversity

The evolution of life on Earth has produced a diversity of plants, 에볼루션카지노 animals, and insects. Paleobiology, the study of these creatures within their geological context, has many advantages over the current observational or experimental methods of studying evolutionary phenomena. Paleobiology focuses on not only processes and events that occur regularly or over time but also the distribution and frequency of different species of animals across geological time.

The Web site is divided into a variety of ways to learn about evolution which include "Evolution 101," which takes the viewer on a line through the science of nature and the evidence to support the theory of evolution. The course also focuses on common misconceptions about evolution and the evolution of thought.

Each of the other sections of the Evolution site is similarly developed, with materials that can be used to support a range of different pedagogical levels and curriculum levels. The site has a range of multimedia and interactive resources which include videos, animations, and virtual laboratories in addition to general textual content. The content is laid out in a nested bread crumb-like fashion that helps with navigation and orientation within the vast web site.

For example, the page "Coral Reef Connections" provides an overview of coral relationships and their interaction with other organisms, then narrows down to a single clam that is able to communicate with its neighbours and respond to changes in the water conditions that occur at the reef level. This page, along with the other multidisciplinary interactive and multimedia pages, provides an excellent introduction to many topics in evolutionary biology. The material also provides a discussion of the role of natural selection as well as the concept of phylogenetic analysis which is an important tool for understanding the evolution of changes.

Evolutionary Theory

Evolution is a common thread that connects all branches of biology. A rich collection supports teaching evolution across all life science disciplines.

One resource, which is a companion to the PBS television series Understanding Evolution, is an exceptional example of a Web site that provides depth and a variety of educational resources. The site features a wide range of interactive learning modules. It also has a nested "bread crumb" structure that helps students move from the cartoon-like style of Understanding Evolution to elements on this massive website that are more closely linked to the world of research science. For example, an animation introducing the idea of genetic inheritance connects to a page highlighting John Endler's experiments with artificial selection with guppies from the native ponds of Trinidad.

The Evolution Library on this website contains a large multimedia library of resources that are associated to evolution. The content is organized according to curriculum-based paths that parallel the learning objectives set out in the biology standards. It includes seven short videos specifically designed for 무료 에볼루션 use in classrooms, and can be streamed for free or purchased on DVD.

Evolutionary biology is still a field of study with a lot of important questions, such as what triggers evolution and how fast it occurs. This is especially true for humans' evolution where it was a challenge to reconcile religious beliefs that held that humans have a distinct position in the universe and a soul with the idea that innate physical traits were derived from Apes.

There are a myriad of other ways in which evolution could occur and natural selection being the most widely accepted theory. Scientists also study different types like mutation, genetic drift, and sexual selection.

While many scientific fields of study are in conflict with literal interpretations found in religious texts, 에볼루션 바카라 무료체험 사이트 (http://bridgehome.cn/copydog/home.php?mod=space&uid=3058672) the concept of evolution biology has been a subject of intense debate and resistance from religious fundamentalists. Certain religions have reconciled their beliefs with evolutionary biology, but others haven't.
