Uncovering Evolutionary Relationships with Extinct Species | Museum Alive With David Attenborough

6th Grade – 8th Grade

9th Grade – 12th Grade

English

These video from Museum Alive with David Attenborough introduce several extraordinary long-extinct species, brought to life with CGI and based on real specimens from London’s Natural History Museum. As Attenborough guides viewers through the museum, students learn how scientists reconstruct past life and trace evolutionary links. In the support materials, students use the clips to compare extinct and modern organisms and build arguments about how closely related they may be.
