I got the opportunity to design my own High School curriculum on #Evolution; sharing it with you here

* Abiogenesis & spontaneous generation – the first (incorrect) ideas about this

* religious teachings about Creation

* #Abiogenesis – modern discoveries, scientific ideas

* Charles Darwin’s Voyage of Discovery

* Darwin’s finches

* Fossils: Evidence of evolution over time. Dating of #fossils

* Convergent evolution

* Homologous and analogous structures

* Natural selection

* Artificial selection

* clades & phylogenies

* Gradualism vs. Punctuated Equilibrium

* Is evolution a theory or a fact?

.
Examples of evolution
_________________________
* Chicken or the egg came first?! Seriously?

* Evolution of the dinosaurs

* Evolution of our kidneys

* Classifying groups of humans: #races, #clades, #populations (using words carefully and responsibly)

* Where did the idea of evolution develop? How has the idea changed over time?
