Teacher-Friendly Guides to evolution
The PRI Teacher-Friendly Guide series has two volumes on evolution, each focused on an organism that is widely familiar to students, that is readily available, and that can be used in classroom curricula to discuss the process of evolution.
The Teacher-Friendly Guide™ to Evolution Using Bivalves as a Model Organism
The Teacher-Friendly Guide™ to Evolution Using Bivalves as a Model Organism provides the background to teach evolution using clams, oysters, and other bivalves. These familiar, attractive, and easily available subjects offer fascinating biological and cultural stories. The Guide was developed in conjunction with the traveling exhibition Science on the Half Shell: How and Why We Study Evolution.

The Teacher-Friendly Guide™ to the Evolution of Maize
The Teacher-Friendly Guide™ to the Evolution of Maize was developed in conjunction with the traveling exhibition Maize: Mysteries of an Ancient Grain. As one of the best examples of crop domestication and an excellent example of genetic inheritance, teaching with maize crosses many levels—from biology and anthropology to the importance of scientific methods and the impact of women in science. The Guide was developed together with the traveling exhibition Maize: Mysteries of an Ancient Grain. Other outreach resources related to this grant can be found at the Panzea website.
