Visit the web site for Darwin2009 for tons of resources to learn and teach evolution!
The year 2009 marked two significant milestones in scientific history—the bicentennial of Charles Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his seminal Origin of Species. Since 2003, Duquesne University has honored Darwin’s legacy with an annual lecture called Darwin Day. In 2009 we led an expanded, city-wide Darwin Celebration to further advance science education throughout our region.
What you'll find:
- Videos of lectures with distinguished speakers
- Free lesson plans for K-12
- Virtual Darwin: ask Darwin 199 questions about his life, science and religion! A roster of modern experts fills in with current science and more perspectives
- Series of evolution posters detailing animal and plant evolution
- And more!...
Discover the principle of evolution the same way Darwin did, by observing the magnificent variety inherent in Nature and letting your curiosity lead the way!
