Evolution by Natural Selection Intro

Tuesday was our Genetic Technologies wrap up day.  You had THREE things to do.
#1.  "Gene Technologies in our Lives" and "Gene Technologies in Detail" Active Readings
#2.  Genetic Technologies Wrap Up Part 1 (The basics)
#3.  Genetic Technology Article Summary

You had the entire period to work through these - anything that was not completed in class yesterday is due on Friday.

Today we started into the next topic - Evolution.  
Our Goals:

You received a study guide to give you and intro and will also be used throughout the next two weeks.

Using that information - you answered the following daily questions.  The majority of the class period was spent on these with some very animated discussion about how natural selection works:
