Teaching Evolution

So you want to know how to teach evolution? It’s easy!

  1. Focus on the fundamentals.
    The mechanism of evolution is based in these four fundamentals: variation, inheritance, selection, and time. At the same time, always keep in mind the nature of science – how we know what we know.

  2. Think of what you would like your students to know.
    Concepts guide your planning to the ideas that are central to the understanding of evolution.

  3. Find the resources to support their learning.
    Once you have identified the concepts, select the appropriate lessons.
