ICONS OF EVOLUTION
The Growing Scientific Controversy Over Darwin
An intellectually refreshing examination of today's Darwinian Evolution debate, exposing the bias and intolerance of those who ignore the evidence, blatantly suppress the facts and vigorously oppose the spirit of true scientific inquiry in order to support a shaky and seriously flawed dogma. - Art Willock, science teacher

Moody Science Collection - Subject Specific Short Videos
We have an extensive library of videos that we are ready to show in your public or private school classroom or assembly. We are glad to lend them to churches and Sunday Schools, and religious schools as well.
Naturally a good teacher wants to know what kind of videos we have, exactly what is on them, and how long a showing of even just a specific part will be. To help you with your lesson planning we want to put our complete catalogues on this website. The links above take you to several specific lists. With time we will add a still more detailed page for most videos.
As a teacher, you will be happy to know that we have prepared some helpful teaching plans, and quizzes to help your students review what they saw in the video. We want to help you make this class time as efficient and effective as possible. Please get in touch so we can fax these Plan and Quizzes to you.
Please use our booking form to contact us about a showing. There is no charge, but we do appreciate donations in whatever amount to continue this service.
