Teaching materials
Below you can find teaching materials demonstrating different aspects of evolutionary theory. We have collected materials under themed pages, from which you also find our suggestions for using the materials in remote teaching. All materials are freely available, under CreativeCommons licence.
There are different ways to make use of the available materials. You can either follow the whole lesson plan, or choose from single exercises and lectures. There are suggestions for modifying the lessons to different age groups, and according to how much time you have.
