Daily Recap: Fri, 2/13

Friday the 13th...yikes.

The final day of Darwin Week brings us two true/false statements:

1. Humans are not evolving.
2. Before he died, Darwin recanted his theory and said that he was wrong.

As usual, I'll discuss these in later posts. Follow the links to see the discussions from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

Investigating Technologies:
Still working on intervals 2 and 3. We should be ready to finish up interval 4 next week and move on to the last rotation of this suite.

Anatomy and Physiology:
Today was the heart anatomy lab. The primary focus of this lab was the dissection of a sheep heart. It was a lot of fun, and a great warm-up for Valentine's Day tomorrow!

Biology:
We began our evolution unit with an overview of what we'll cover during the next few weeks. We also discussed some of the controversy about the theory of evolution. Students were asked to fill out notecards with the following:
1. What do you KNOW about evolution?
2. What do you THINK about evolution?
3. What QUESTIONS do you have about evolution?

Have a great Valentine's Day tomorrow, and enjoy the three day weekend. We'll see you back in class on Tuesday.
