week of 31 March

Hi all,
  Sorry am only posting now after we've already had 2/3 of our class for the week.  As I mentioned in class, I'm really struggling with migraines lately and am behind and overwhelmed.  I thank you in advance for your indulgence of my potentially very slow grading!

  This week:  Monday we talked about the tenets of Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. Make sure you understand this!  As I said today, this is THE CENTRAL idea of biological science.  As Theodosius Dobzhansky said in the title of a famous 1973 paper on evolution, "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution." I heartily concur!  Wednesday we talked about the evidence for evolution and tomorrow you will take the quiz on the Blind Watchmaker excerpt.

  As ever, please come to AFT if you need help!  Thanks, Ms. Leary

DUE DATES:
• Evolution Stations assignment was due Weds 1 April
• Genetics test corrections (optional) due Thursday 2 April
• Blind Watchmaker reading quiz Thursday 2 April
• Blind Watchmaker questions by Friday 3 April
• O - R word root definitions Thursday 9 April
• Evolution Unit reading questions Wednesday 29 April
