Inspiring a deeper understanding of the natural world.
Darwin stories, Darwin’s great ideas and Darwin’s ways of working and thinking are inspiring for anyone learning about the natural world.
What is
Darwin-Inspired?
Darwin’s example can promote a deep understanding and excitement about our environment, the way it works and how we affect it.
The Charles Darwin Trust, and partners, have taken Charles Darwin, the person, scientist and Victorian gentleman, his house, gardens and countryside at Downe as an inspiration for teaching and learning about Natural History.
What We Do
Darwin-Inspired Learning
Darwin-Inspired Research
The Charles Darwin Trust actively contributes to the latest research in evolution, natural history, and science education. We bridge the gap between historical discovery and modern djdjd to deepen how children engage with the natural world. By applying Darwin’s own methods of observation and questioning, we provide a powerful, evidence-based model for student investigation.
We are dedicated to promoting Darwin-Inspired learning through excellence in science and education. By connecting students with the natural world, we transform his historical legacy into modern, hands-on discovery. Our mission is to inspire curiosity and critical thinking in the next generation of scientists.
How we do it
Through our specially developed teaching and learning resources, we help and encourage children to explore the world, providing a new insight into their own experiences of nature.
The teaching and learning resources have been developed using the Darwin-Inspired approach. These resources are freely available to use for all teachers and students.
Partners and supporters of the Charles Darwin Trust have also published a variety of books inspired by Darwin.
