Curriculum Resources On this page we have compiled resources for educators to use in the classroom. The first section consists of modules developed at NESCent. "Other Curriculum Resources" includes a list of various resources ranging from single lessons, to books, to computer simulations. The "Audio and Video Lecture" section has links to single lectures, interviews, and science shows. Some are are audio only while others include video.

MUSE - Natural Selection - Course Overview and Materials. Unit Overview The Natural Selection unit described on this site was developed for use with 11th and 12th grade students. If implemented as described here it will require seven to nine weeks of daily 45 minute instructional periods. The main focus of this unit is the development, use, and extension of the natural selection model. The materials for the Natural Selection unit are organized into four sections: 1. Within each of these sections there are two or more instructional materials related to the main learning outcomes of that section.
Unit Materials 1. A. 2. A. 3. A. 4. A. Each section of the unit is described on an introductory page. Instructional Notes Student Handouts Assessment Examples of Student Work Teacher Reflections. Candy Dish Selection. Overview: In this lesson students become unwitting subjects in a demonstration of natural selection. Students select candies from a bowl and have an opportunity to think about what traits brought about the “survival” of some candies. Lesson Concepts: Not every feature is an adaptation. Adaptations often persist in a population because they are in some way advantageous.
Adaptations are preserved in a population by natural selection. Depending on environmental conditions, inherited characteristics may be advantageous, neutral, or detrimental. Random factors affect the survival of individuals and of populations. Grade Span: 9–12 Materials: Variety of candies—has to include popular ones and unpopular ones (try black licorice). Advance Preparation: — Prepare a list of the candies and their initial abundance in the candy dish. Time: 30 minutes Grouping: Whole class Teacher Background: This activity provides a model for natural selection. Vocabulary: variation, selection, traits Procedure: Extensions:
