Objective this week: To learn about geologic time and use trends from life forms in the past to demonstrate how organisms have changed throughout earth's history. Students will also complete a differentiated mutation project.
Monday
Geologic time - explain what it is, and misconceptions about it. This will set the stage for our discussion of natural selection over the next couple of weeks.
Tuesday
