Understanding Evolution -
this is a non-commercial, education website, teaching the science and history of evolutionary biology. This site is here to help you understand what evolution is, how it works, how it factors into your life, how research in evolutionary biology is performed, and how ideas in this area have changed over time. There is a special page for teacher.
The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) defends the teaching of evolution in public schools. We are a nationally-recognized clearinghouse for information and advice to keep evolution in the science classroom and "scientific creationism" out. NCSE is the only national organization to specialize in this issue.

Caminalcules, Snouters and Other Unusual Creatures The creatures evolving on the left are Caminalcules, named in honor of their creator Joseph H. Camin. Camin was interested in the methods used by taxonomists to determine the evolutionary relationships among species. To this end, he generated these creatures from a simple predecessor in a process that simulated evolution. The result was an evolutionary tree with many branches consisting of 29 recent and 48 "fossil" species.

This site has worksheets for students. The first one provides an introduction and directions. The second one ask questions to be completed during the activity (one per team, or one per student, if you prefer). These are also offered in pdf format. The other sheets are offered in PDF format only (see further down), since they are diagrams.
