My rating of this resource: ***
My experience using this resource: evolution/classification
Topic I was teaching: morphology / taxonomy
My learning goal for which this resource was used: to have students view the video and identify strutural changes present as a result of the evolution of new species results in the need to reassess the classification system
Course Level: A.P., Honors or Advanced, Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: as students view the video, they are able to classify organisms based upon the physical characteristics shown.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQrkJchlldA&feature=related This site is also valuable - from: Cosmos narrated by Carl Sagan
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Increases student engagement and motivation
Strengths: While some may veiw the transformations as "fantasmical", to be able to appreiciate the classification system is the goal
Weaknesses: not able to "see" the molecular basis of classification but this is for another discusssion! : )
