Here’s a great NPR story on Charles Darwin. FlCfS president Joe Wolf told me when he brought this story to my attention that, “It is told as a story but it is really teaching about science and evolution. To me it is a good example of how we can use stories to teach the public about evolution.”
That it is.
Sometimes a great, earth-shaking, new idea in science can be created in the most homespun ways.
Listen to my Morning Edition piece to hear how Charles Darwin and his butler dropped asparagus into a tub and how Darwin and his oldest son studied dead pigeons floating upside down in a bowl to test ideas about evolution.
