Evolution of life<\/a>. This free website invites you to explore the sciences, and more particularly the principles of the evolution of life.
\nAccessible to everyone, it sets out three main headings :
\n– observe : animations or films take you on a fascinating voyage on the trail of evolution,
\n– explore : simulations allow you to experiment, and to understand better,
\n– teach : various resources are suggested for use in class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just wanted to link to these two resources real quick while they’re fresh in my mind: Teacher Institute Teaching Tips is a bite-sized podcast for science teachers, by science teachers.
