Scientists pinpoint genes behind famous beak variations.
by Geoff Marsh published 11 February 2015

This is a nice update on recent research into the finch phylogeny. It includes video and an interview with Leif Andersson about his research on the evolutionary relationships between species based on genomic sequences.

These are the teacher notes associated with the student activity. This activity uses Populus software to have students run simulations with gametic frequency data.

These are the teacher notes associated with the student activity. Students will work with phenotypic data from Drosophila populations to understand allele frequencies and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Students are asked to calculate and interpret a variety of population genetic statistics, including X² and D (gametic disequilibrium).

These are the teacher notes for the student activity. Working with allozyme genotype data, students are asked to compute and interpret genotype frequencies and fixation indices.

This lesson plan, created by Discovery Channel, is for grades 6-8 and its goal is to study native vs introduced species and their effects. It's been hard to find resources for older kids.

Very rudimentary. The "Classroom Investigations" are for grades 5-8. However it is not uninteresting and includes links to simulations and worksheets. It was created by the National Science Teachers Association. Could be a fun resource to included if for no other reason than because it's cute. The "Galapagos Guide" is within the site, explaining different areas of the islands. The "Resources for Teaching Evolution" tab does not have designated grades and appear to be a little more intensive. It contains things like discovery channel videos and a virtual tour of a volcano. 

John recommended looking into the work of Robert Bowman and this is his section from the larger work about galapagos finches Notícias de Galápagos 1 (which would probably be helpful but most of the rest of the work is in Spanish) much of it is comparing the giospiza to other species of song birds, and goes into why the galapagos finch is the perfect subject for studying bird song in an evolutionary focus. 

This article is really nice because it connects song and beak morphology all in the realm of evolution. It's a quick read and good for beginners but also pretty interesting for anyone

Will have to look into more, but from what I've seem it's an evolution focused lab based in separating finch species. Seems to be a premade lab 

Ok so it's actually really cool! The premise is you're trying to sort finches into two groups based on song sound, spectrograms, beak shape and appearance, at the end you can check how close you were. Theres another activities for differentiating finches that's not quite as related and tabs to learn about spectrograms and  Daphne Major. Both are pretty basic crash courses but would be very helpful for a beginner or an introductory activity. I'll definitely provide a walk through because it's super fun!!

Very cool multimedia

A bit outdated, but links out to other interesting bird data sources, which include a lot of citizen science. 

The modules, "Species Concepts in Birds" and "Sound Trees" use song data. Lessons are well developed with learning objectives, instructor guides, student handouts, how-to's on the Macaulay library and RavenViewer, and some assessment ideas.
