Feel free to watch any of the provided videos in addition to or in substitution for Edgenuity course work. Each video listed provides a view into different aspects of both Evolution and Ecology. I strongly urge you to watch the videos with your unidivided attention, as most of them are fascinating and provide different views and imagery that you may have seen before.
In addition to the links, I am also providing some resources that may be available to you, but that I cannot link to. If you don't have access to these resources, no worries. I just wanted to include them in case you do.
