In my environmental science class we are getting ready to talk in depth about human populations. Later this week we are going to watch a video that Population Connection created. It shows a map with dots to represent 1 million people. Then it shows how the population has changed over the last 2000 years. It also talks about the different events taking place during those times. The students will be answering some questions about the video and I hope it sparks some good conversation. This is a great way to tie in history. I will blog my results.
In my zoology class we dissected a dogfish shark last week. This was great. I gave the students a packet to provide them with some additional info and some diagrams. Each student had their own shark and it was really about discovery. The students looked for and located different organs and structures. I was there to help them, but they were encouraged to explore, while being humane. I could tell how much the students enjoyed this activity. We hope to dissect a frog in a few weeks.
