Biology Animation
Library from
the Dolan DNA Learning Center at Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratories.
DNA from
the Beginning: An animated primer on the basics of DNA, genes,
and heredity. DNA from the Beginning is organized around key concepts.
The
science behind each concept is explained by: animation, image gallery,
video
interviews, problem, biographies, and links.
Sequencing
DNA animations: From Nova's “Cracking the Code of Life”: a video on
sequencing.
The Human Genome
Project’s online
multimedia educational kit.
The DNA television
series and its Web episodes offer lesson plans and
activities for middle school and high school teachers that are designed
to take
up no more than one or two classroom periods. Videotapes for schools,
libraries, and other educational institutions are available for
purchase online
through Films for the Humanities and Sciences (1-800-257-5126) or from
Shop
Thirteen. Each DNA episode can be taped off-the-air and used for
educational
purposes for one year from the initial broadcast.

Web resources
for teaching evolution
Information and
resources
from the US National Academy of Science about
evolution and teaching evolution.
Understanding
Evolution, "Your one-stop source for information on
evolution," from the University of California at Berkeley.
Web
resources from the "Tree Thinking Group," a resource for
teachers,
students, and researchers who are interested in tree thinking. It
contains
materials for teaching and learning about evolutionary relationships
and the
use of phylogenies in biological problem solving.
The Tree
of Life Web Project (ToL) is a
collaborative effort of
biologists from around the world. On more than 4000 World Wide Web
pages, the
project provides information about the diversity of organisms on Earth,
their
evolutionary history (phylogeny), and characteristics.
