Virus and the Whale: Exploring Evolution in Creatures Small and Large

Judy Diamond, Editor

with Carl Zimmer, E. Margaret Evens, Linda Allison, and Sarah Disbrow

What middle schooler could resist an invitation to follow seven scientists to their labs and into the field, going inside the body to meet a virus, underground to meet leaf-cutter ants, to the deserts of Pakistan to say hello to skeletons of ancient whales … and more. Below you’ll find links to each of the student activity pages provided in Virus and the Whale. Just click, print, and let the student investigations begin!
