California Academy of Sciences

The California Academy of Sciences content on Khan Academy teaches information about biodiversity and natural selection. They frequently use the biosphere and biodiversity of an island as an example.

This is appropriate for about 5th grade through adult-perhaps younger.  It can be found here.
