So, whatever one chooses to acknowledge it as, it is what it is...a small change, in an organism, over time that eventually becomes part of the makeup of that organism. There are many ways in which we can teach this topic; we can have an open engaged discussion about it, we can do activities, we can visit museum and places that might have exhibits about evolution or you can encourage the students to do a book report or project on their idea of evolution, but whatever you do...make sure it is age appropriate. There is nothing worse than to be stuck in a "over your head" science topic, it makes the whole experience tough.
There is one scientist that goes hand in hand with the study of evolution, and that's Charles Darwin. There are great resources out there, you just have to find the best one that fits your style of teaching or learning! Next month's YoS topic is: Physics and Technology!
