This workbook was developed to support Crossing Over, a pilot research programme for training teachers in contemporary science education (a project of the Human Sciences Research Council and the Africa Genome Initiative). The project aimed to equip educators with the necessary skills and knowledge to deal with changes in the Natural Sciences and Life Sciences curricula. The workbook provides key content necessary for teaching concepts recently introduced in these curricula: comparative functioning, relationships and the development of change, or evolution. This is an interactive, well-illustrated workbook that helps teachers to build their own understanding of genes, the mechanisms of inheritance and selection - the basic principles of evolution. It is divided into two parts, with the first intended to supplement the work of General Education and Training (GET) teachers, and the second providing support for Further Education and Training (FET) teachers.
