In the meantime, however, many parents may be wondering what they can do to teach their children while such a curriculum is being created.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, there are resources already available for parents and teachers who are interested in showing their children that science and faith need not be at odds. Our Web site &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biologos.org\/\">www.biologos.org<\/a> &#8212; features a section titled <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biologos.org\/resources\/teachers\">&#8220;Resources for Teachers&#8221;<\/a>, where we have gathered online materials addressing the questions of creation, origins, and science-and-religion. The section features a variety of tools including essays, guides to answering questions from students, and free videos and documentaries. We even have a link to a free <a href=\"http:\/\/science.discovery.com\/interactives\/literacy\/darwin\/darwin.html\">online video game<\/a> that introduces students to the basic ideas of Darwin&#8217;s theory of natural selection!<\/p>\n<p>This is, of course, just a small sampling of the many resources available to teachers and parents.
