EVOLUTION
Intro - How agriculture changed plants to what we eat today; (selective breeding). This video shows how "selective breeding" can produce obvious changes in organisms over several generations.
Natural Selection (explained here on YouTube) is taught (by me) as:
See HHMI video (1 of 3): The Making of a Theory or NOVA's "What Darwin Never Knew" (First half is about general evolution; second half relates DNA to evolution.)
See HHMI video (2 of 3): The Origin of Species (Finches) See HHMI video (3 of 3): The Origins of Species (Lizards)
See HHMI videos: Making of the Fittest
