 | Explore Life's Diversity: Charles DarwinClick for detailsCharles Darwin, the 19th-century naturalist who revolutionized biology with his theory of evolution, believed that there were three stages on the road to becoming a naturalist: collecting specimens of life forms, observing specimens, and drawing conclusions based on observations. The Charles Darwin Kit, one in Scientific Explorer's History of Science series, guides children through each stage with a series of experiments and activities. They can catalog life in their backyards using biodiversity cards, grow wildflowers, and even design a new bird species. Includes magnifier, forceps, petri dishes, collection box, starter pots, wildflower seeds, labels, and other equipment necessary for investigating the amazing diversity of life in the backyard |
It's seen as a victory for religious conservatives who believe the world came into being more or less as described in the Bible and who refuse to accept Charles Darwin's teaching as scientific fact .
As a result of the decision, new standards will be adopted for science curricula changing the teaching of evolution as an underlying principle of biology and other sciences into an option.
Several universities in Kansas had already warned that the decision could set the state back a century and it was being closely watched by educational bodies across the country.
