Summary
With the bicentenary of Charles Darwin's birth bringing a renewed focus on teaching evolution, Resource Review focuses on evolution resources at primary and secondary levels.
The panel, including teachers, local authority advisers and university experts, gives its opinion on the resources and offers advice on what does and doesn't work in the classroom.
Finally there is an overview of some of the activities and resources on offer from organisations taking part in the celebration of Darwin's achievements.
2009 marks both the bicentenary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of On The Origin of Species.
