PBS has excellent resources to support an important topic that will move down to the grade 11 Biology level in the fall of 2009: Evolution.
Here is the address: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/educators/teachstuds/svideos.html
There are a whole series of videos which can be purchased or you can show a variety of 10 min video clips from a range of topics including:
Why is Evolution Controversial Anyways? How does Evolution Really Work? and Did Humans Evolve?
I like the range of topics because it goes beyond outlining what Evolution is about to why it is important and controversial.
As well, there are some fun parts like the sex and evolution dating game. There is a host, a contestant and 3 bachelors behind the curtains. There are questions that you can ask the contestants such as: what would be the perfect gift? The bachelors are different species of animals so what they think of as the perfect mate will be very different.

What a great link! I watched the video about 'Why is Evolution Controversial?' and it was very well done. This gives me more to ponder.
