Classroom Resource
To accompany the lecture series Evolution: Constant Change and Common Threads.
Lectures
Students discuss the short film after a screening at the 2012 Holiday Lectures on Science.
Click & Learn
Paleoanthropology provides an excellent example of the scientific process at work.
Classroom Resource
A worksheet designed to show students how scientists make their discoveries. It provides students with background information about how Dr. Allison's work built upon the contributions made by other scientists.
Classroom Resource
A worksheet designed to actively engage students as they watch the film. Students are asked to answer questions pertaining to the information provided in the film.
Classroom Resource
To accompany the lecture series Scanning Life's Matrix: Genes, Proteins, and Small Molecules.
Interview
Katherine Sorber, a graduate student in the DeRisi lab, describes her research on malaria.
Interview
Ben Vincent describes his summer work collecting mosquitoes for Dr. Marm Kilpatrick's research on the ecology and epidemiology of the West Nile virus.
Classroom Resource
A worksheet that guides students through The Stickleback Evolution Virtual Lab. The virtual lab lets students learn firsthand the methods for analyzing body structure in stickleback collected from lakes and fossils recovered from a quarry. Students measure, record, and graph their results to...
Video Clips
A brief introduction to how stickleback fossils are collected and used to study evolution. It also shows the students who attended the 2005 Holiday Lectures taking part in a fossil-collecting activity.
Video Clips
What do humans, flies, and worms have in common? More than you might think. See how transgenic organisms are engineered, and how they enable researchers to study genetic diseases.
Video Clips
Air is an invisible gas as are hydrogen and helium. How can you tell if a balloon contains hydrogen? Hydrogen has particular physical and chemical properties that can be tested. Dr. Cech enlists student volunteers to show how a chemical reaction can be used to identify a substance.
Interview
Dr. Tishkoff explains how studying genetic diversity can shed light on modern-day diseases, such as diabetes and obesity.
Lectures
Leading evolution educator Ken Miller discusses the controversy surrounding the teaching of evolution.
Lectures
How reasoning and evidence are used to understand human evolution.
Lectures
Stone tools are well-preserved evidence of past human activity.
Lectures
The hominid fossil record of the past six million years gives us surprising insights into the path of human evolution.
Lectures
Microbes have been the dominant life form throughout Earth's history. Eukaryotes and animals evolved only after microbes evolved oxygen-generating photosynthesis.
Lectures
The theory of plate tectonics took many decades to become accepted. The process by which it was finally accepted provides a fascinating glimpse into how scientists build new scientific consensus.
Lectures
Earth has been both cooler and warmer in the past, but the change is usually gradual. The current rate of carbon dioxide increase is unprecedented in human history, and solutions to mitigate its effect on global warming are challenging to implement.
Lectures
Scientific evidence for global climate change is overwhelming, yet the American public remains skeptical. History provides insights into how a Cold War-era think tank became an influential source of anti-regulation sentiment.
Lectures
A discussion on climate change with the students attending the 2012 Holiday Lectures on Science.
Series
Where and when did humans arise? What distinguishes us from other species? Did our distant ancestors look and behave like us?
Series
How has the amazing diversity of plants and animals evolved? What can fossils, butterflies, and stickleback fish tell us about the deep common ancestry of all living forms?
Series
Leading evolution educator Ken Miller discusses the controversy surrounding the teaching of evolution.
