Charles Darwin’s birthday—also known as International Darwin Day—is February 12. Darwin was an English naturalist whose theory of evolution is one of the central concepts in biology.
To celebrate International Darwin Day, John Melville and the Vernier biology team have developed several resources that use Vernier products to help you investigate evolution with your students.
