Evolution Site - Teaching About Evolution
Despite the best efforts of biology educators, 에볼루션코리아 misinformation about evolution persist. People who have been exposed to pop science nonsense often assume that biologists claim they do not believe in evolution.
This site, which is a companion to the PBS series offers teachers with resources which support evolution education and avoids the kinds of myths that undermine it. It's organized in the "bread crumb" format to facilitate navigation and orientation.
Definitions
It's difficult to teach evolution well. Many non-scientists are unable to grasp the concept, and some scientists even use a definition that confuses it. This is especially applicable to discussions on the definition of the word itself.
It is therefore essential to define the terms used in evolutionary biology. The website for the PBS show, Understanding Evolution, does this in a simple and efficient manner. The site is a companion site to the show that premiered in 2001, but is also an independent resource. The material is presented in a nested fashion that assists in navigation and orientation.
The site defines terms such as common ancestor and gradual process. These terms help frame the nature of evolution and its relationship to evolution to other concepts in science. The website then provides an overview of how the concept of evolution has been researched and confirmed. This information can be used to dispel myths that have been propagated by the creationists.
It is also possible to access the glossary of terms used in evolutionary biology. These terms include:
Adaptation is the tendency of heritable traits to become better suited to an environment. This is a result of natural selection. Organisms with more adaptable traits are more likely than those with less adapted traits to reproduce and survive.
Common ancestor (also known as common ancestor): The most recent ancestor that is shared by two or more species. The common ancestor can be identified through analyzing the DNA of the species.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid: A large biological molecular that holds the information needed for cell replication. The information is stored in nucleotide sequences, which are strung into long chains called chromosomes. Mutations are responsible for the creation of new genetic information within cells.
Coevolution is a relationship between two species where evolution of one species are influenced by evolutionary changes in the other. Examples of coevolution include the interactions between predator and prey, or the parasite and the host.
Origins
Species (groups of individuals that can interbreed) change through an array of natural changes in the traits of their offspring. The causes of these changes are various factors, including natural selection, gene drift, and mixing of the gene pool. The evolution of a new species may take thousands of years and the process may be slowed down or 에볼루션 바카라 사이트사이트 (https://cq.X7cq.vip) speeded up by environmental factors like climate change or the competition for food or habitat.
The Evolution site traces the emergence of a variety of animal and plant groups through time, focusing on the major shifts that occurred throughout the evolution of each group's history. It also examines the evolution of humans and is a subject that is particularly important to students.
Darwin's Origin was published in 1859, when just a few antediluvian fossils of humans had been found. The famous skullcap, with the bones associated with it, was discovered in 1856 in the Little Feldhofer Grotto of Germany. It is now recognized as an early Homo neanderthalensis. While the skullcap wasn't published until 1858, which was one year before the first edition of the Origin was published, it's very unlikely that Darwin had ever heard of it.
The site is primarily one of biology however, it also has a lot of information on geology and paleontology. The most impressive features on the site are a series of timelines which show the way in which climatic and geological conditions have changed over time, and an interactive map of the geographical distribution of some fossil groups that are featured on the site.
The site is a companion for the PBS television series, but it can also be used as a source for teachers and students. The site is well-organized and offers easy links to the introductory content of Understanding Evolution (developed under the National Science Foundation's funding) and the more specialized features on the museum's website. These hyperlinks make it easier to move from the cartoon style of Understanding Evolution pages into the more sophisticated realms of research science. In particular there are links to John Endler's research with Guppies, which demonstrate the importance of ecology in evolutionary theory.
Diversity
The evolution of life on Earth has produced a diversity of animals, plants and insects. Paleobiology is the study of these creatures in their natural environment and has numerous advantages over modern observational and experimental methods of examining evolutionary phenomena. In addition to exploring the processes and events that happen frequently or over a long period of time, paleobiology allows to study the relative abundance of various species of organisms and their distribution across the course of geological time.
The site is divided up into several options to study the subject of evolution. One of the paths, "Evolution 101," walks the reader through the complexities and evidence of evolution. The path also examines myths regarding evolution, as well as the history of evolutionary thought.
Each of the other sections of the Evolution site is equally well constructed, with materials that can support a variety of curriculum levels and pedagogical styles. The site offers a wide array of interactive and multimedia resources that include animations, video clips and virtual labs as well as general textual content. The content is laid out in a nested bread crumb-like fashion that helps with navigation and orientation on the web site.
The page "Coral Reef Connections" For instance, it provides a comprehensive overview of the coral's relationships, their interaction with other organisms and then is enlarged to show one clam, which is able to communicate with its neighbors and react to changes in conditions of the water at the reef level. This page, as well as the other multidisciplinary, multimedia, and interactive pages on the site, provide an excellent introduction to a wide range of topics in evolutionary biology. The material includes an explanation of the significance of natural selectivity and the concept of phylogenetics as a key method for understanding the evolution of change.
Evolutionary Theory
For biology students the concept of evolution is a major thread that weaves together all the branches of the field. A wide range of resources supports teaching about evolution across all life sciences.
One resource, which is a companion to the PBS television series Understanding Evolution, 에볼루션 게이밍 is an excellent example of an Web site that offers both the depth and breadth of its educational resources. The site has a variety of interactive learning modules. It also has an embedded "bread crumb" structure that helps students move from the cartoon style of Understanding Evolution to elements on this large Web site closer to the world of research science. An animation that introduces the concept of genetics links to a page that highlights John Endler's experiments with artificial selection using guppies on native ponds in Trinidad.
The Evolution Library on this website contains a large multimedia library of assets related with evolution. The content is organized into curricula-based pathways that correspond to the learning goals established in biology standards. It contains seven videos specifically designed for classroom use, which can be streamed for no cost or purchased on DVD.
Evolutionary biology remains an area of study that poses many important questions to answer, such as the causes of evolution and how fast it happens. This is particularly relevant for humans' evolution which was a challenge to reconcile religious beliefs that humanity has a unique place in creation and a soul with the notion that human beings have innate physical traits evolved from Apes.
In addition there are a variety of ways in which evolution could be triggered and natural selection is the most widely accepted theory. However scientists also study different kinds of evolution, such as mutation, genetic drift, and sexual selection, among other things.
While many fields of scientific inquiry have a conflict with literal interpretations of the Bible Evolutionary biology has been the subject of fierce debate and opposition from religious fundamentalists. While some religions have been able to reconcile their beliefs with the ideas of evolution, others aren't.
