VIVO & Biodiversity Review Materials on D2L

Please ensure that you have everything that you need for our awesome VIVO day on Monday.  Bring a bagged lunch, water bottle, anything you need for skating/swimming etc.

Please get some rest this weekend...most of you look very tired.

Today we discussed strategies for studying for Science.  I enrolled you into our D2L shell (not the Cougar Community shell but a shell for 901 & 902) and uploaded a bunch of PDF files for you under the News Section.

Here are some cool questions 903 & 904 were discussing:

1.How does artificial selection differ from what you learned earlier in this unit about natural selection? Use examples in your explanation.

2. Simplify an explanation of artificial selection in a way that a student in grade 4 could easily understand it.

3.Scientists have created crops that contain a toxin that kills any insect that eats them. Some farmers have been growing corn plants that contain this toxin. Corn without this toxin is a food supply for the corn weevil, which destroys the corn crop, and the monarch butterfly, which is a protected species. What advice would you give to farmers growing this crop?

Please keep the Math alive by working through p. 60 #4-9...should be done for Tuesday.  Thanks.
