Resources for Teaching Evolution
These organizations may also be able to provide materials and programs to assist you in understanding and teaching evolution and the public debate about the topic.

National Center for Science Education; NCSE
The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) defends the teaching of evolution in public schools. They are a nationally-recognized clearinghouse for information and advice to keep evolution in the science classroom.

Univerisity of California Museum of Paleontology
Understanding Evolution is a non-commercial, education website, teaching the science and history of evolutionary biology. This site is here to help you understand what evolution is, how it works, how it factors into your life, how research in evolutionary biology is performed, and how ideas in this area have changed over time.

American Association for the Advancement of Science; AAAS
AAAS has played a prominent role in responding to efforts in Kansas and elsewhere to weaken or compromise the teaching of evolution in public school science classrooms. Here are some background materials on the controversy and links to AAAS resources on evolution.

Public Broadcasting Service; PBS
The Evolution Project is a seven-part, eight-hour television broadcast series, an extensive Web site, a far-reaching educational outreach initiative, and a HarperCollins companion book by acclaimed science writer Carl Zimmer.

British Broadcasting Corporation; BBC
This site contains a range of materials directly related to the various television programs shown on BBC on evolution, Charles Darwin, and natural selection, in addition to a large amount of original online content.
