This Mathematics Matters case study describes how mathematicians help to boost efficiency in the energy industry by mapping buried oil reserves. As oil supplies become harder and more expensive to reach, it’s essential that we maximise the yield from available reservoirs in any way possible. Mathematicians are...

In this activity from ARKive students observe images of different primates. The activity presents evidence for a common ancestor shared by different animal groups.

Please note that the ARKive.org website is no longer available, where links are listed for additional information within the Teachers' notes...

In this activity from ARKive students observe images and video material (with web access) of pale and dark forms of peppered moth. The activity uses the relative number of pale and dark forms in different environments as a model for evolution.

This practical activity explores beak adaptations in bird populations and looks at the way in which variation in beak shape is related to the available food sources within an environment. Using different tools to model different beak shapes children are provided with different kinds of food to pick up. The...

A Catalyst article looking at the evidence for evolution and which considers the ongoing conflict between scientists and creationists. The work of Charles Darwin is central to the article which summarises his theory of natural selection and also covers creation myths and creationists.

This article is from...

A collection of post 16 resources about mutation, evolution and disease.  These resources are part of the post 16 genetics and genomics collection.

This teaching guide provides a range of ideas and resources for teaching about classification and evolution at A level. Curriculum links include classification, binomial, kingdom, phylogeny, and evolution.

Although produced to support the teaching of OCR AS and A Level Biology A specifications (H020 and H420...

This Nuffield Secondary Science picture pack was designed for use with Field of Study 2.3 in Theme 2. The pack contains 32 large, black and white line drawings and photographs.

Some of the images illustrate evidence for human evolution including:

Published by the Wellcome Trust, the 'Big Picture' explores issues around biology and medicine. Why does Darwinian evolution raise controversy when, say, quantum mechanics scarcely registers on the public consciousness?
