FOUND 7 RESOURCES:

Evo-devo Understanding the process of development can help us understand how some major evolutionary changes occurred and why others did not.

Webcast: From butterflies to humans In lecture four of a four part series, evolutionary biologist Sean Carroll uses the developmental genetics of insects to explain how old genes can learn new tricks and how this can help us understand human evolution. This lecture is available from Howard Hughes' BioInteractive website.

Webcast: The science of evolution Evolutionary biologist Sean Carroll introduces the field of Evo-Devo, using examples from fruit flies, butterflies, and icefish to explain how this research is transforming our understanding of evolution. This video is available from the New York Times website.

Mealworm Metamorphosis Students will observe offspring (mealworms) that do not initially resemble their parent organism (darkling beetles) throughout complete metamorphosis. Students will also create and maintain an appropriate habitat for the mealworms.

Observing Brine Shrimp Students observe brine shrimp eggs, create an appropriate environment for their survival, and observe their growth.
