With the Biology EOC behind us, and the end of the school year rapidly approaching, we began our last project of the year. The Evolution Project is designed to provide students with the opportunity to research a topic of high interest and consider what the future holds for their topic. Today, students received the Evolution Project outline. They were tasked with selecting a topic from those provided, or coming up with their own. Some students were quickly able to identify their project of interest and jumped right into the research. Other students spent much of the class period learning more about the listed topics and it was exciting to watch them research and eventually determine their project topic. The project is worth 100 points and is due next Friday (June 12).
