Introduction: Charles Darwin accumulated a tremendous collection of facts to support the theory of evolution by natural selection. One of his difficulties in demonstrating the theory, however, was the lack of an example of evolution over a short period of time, which could be observed as it was taking place in nature. Although Darwin was unaware of it, remarkable examples of evolution, which might have helped to persuade people of his theory, were in the countryside of his native England. The economic changes known as the industrial revolution began in the middle of the eighteenth century. Instructions: Click the link below to read more information on Kettlewell's study of moths.

Royal Society

Our origins lie in a 1660 ‘invisible college’ of natural philosophers and physicians. Today we are the UK’s national science academy and a Fellowship of some 1,600 of the world’s most eminent scientists. Nullius in verba The very first ‘learned society’ meeting on 28 November 1660 followed a lecture at Gresham College by Christopher Wren. Joined by other leading polymaths including Robert Boyle and John Wilkins, the group soon received royal approval, and from 1663 it would be known as 'The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge'. The Royal Society's motto 'Nullius in verba' is taken to mean 'take nobody's word for it'.

Advancements and adventure The early years of the Society saw revolutionary advancements in the conduct and communication of science. We published Isaac Newton’s Principia Mathematica, and Benjamin Franklin’s kite experiment demonstrating the electrical nature of lightning. Independence.

Best Online Interactive Museum Exhibits for Students

These links provide your students opportunities to virtually experience some of the world’s finest art, science, and historical museums. Some sites are image galleries, some are learning games, and others are unique multisensory journeys through the past. It’s important to differentiate the difference between virtual field trips and online exhibits. Virtual field trips allow the student to explore a museum on the web, as if he were physically at the location. The criteria to make the list included: Interactivity – does the site allow the student to do something other than read text?

Visually Stimulating – does the site draw the student to explore more? Content Validity – will the content support state standards? Coolness factor – would this be a site teachers would talk about and share with others? Of course, even with this list, there are probably some that I have missed. OLogy. Smog City. Coolfood kidz.
