To ensure a successful run, D&D supports its customers with lesson plans, tour scripts and other resources.
Tour Script. A 45 minute script is included which can be tuned to the specific layout of the host exhibit. It provides a framework for tour guides/docents, highlighting important and interesting features of the exhibit and ensuring visitors get the most out of their experience.

Online Resources. D&D also provides numerous online videos that speak to specific aspects of the exhibit (see under Videos) and one that provides an overview of the main concepts of evolution.

Report on the Exhibits on Evolution. D&D has never had a problem with visitors challenging evolution or the exhibit and research shows that the vast majority of visitors to natural history museums and science centers already believe in evolution or are open to learning about it.
