Multimedia Resources for Learning
The Evolution Project extends a wealth of educational resources to teachers, students, parents and families -- on the air, on the Web, in print, and through workshop programs. Available fall 2001. |

Broadcast Series
A seven-part, eight-hour series premiering on your PBS station from September 24-27, 2001 (check local listings), Evolution will combine drama with documentary filmmaking, traveling around the world and through time to examine evolutionary science and its profound effect on society and culture. Teachers may tape the series and use it in their classrooms for one year after broadcast. The entire seven-part, eight-hour Evolution television series as well as single videos and a special curriculum kit for educators will be available from WGBH Boston Video.
