Teaching Evolution
In this video from Teachers TV, Caroline Molyneux, Head of Science at Balshaw CE High School, uses several innovative methods to teach the theory of evolution.
Caroline explores evolution with hands on techniques such as students dressing up as gorillas, and explaining the evolution of Galapagos Finches by using kitchen implements to pick up fruit and nuts.
Caroline encourages a heated debate on evolution versus creationism, in which the school chaplain is invited to provide guidance to the creationist approach.
This programme shows how Caroline's approach allows for religious beliefs within the classroom to be catered for, whilst still delivering the curriculum.
