Week of 2/14

Students completed their "Moth Lab" and took the chapter quiz early in the week. We finished the week by discussing other pieces of evidence that support the theory of evolution. We talked about the fossil record, geologic time scale, plate tectonics, vestigial structures, and comparing organism similarities by bone structure and order, embryotic structures, and DNA. In our lab, students practiced using relative fossil dating techniques to find the estimated age of different fossils. They had to arrange "rock samples" in order, based on their fossil components. We will be taking the Evolution chapter test on Tuesday!
