Remember the evolution project is due this FRIDAY - a short class presentation is also expected and will be graded.

lab report

there have been some questions regarding the hypothesis. yes, you are responsible for a hypothesis and remember you must make a chart showing the sequence of evolution for each of the skulls. to d this you will be using some parameters based on measurements taken during the lab. for example, if you believe that the order of evolution for each skull is based on the angle of the forehead ( more horizontal means older more vertical means most recent) then use that in your hypothesis. a hypothesis is, after all, a proposition (or a set) to explain a scientific phenomena.

Evolution Week

This week - we are finishing up our Evolution discussion with an exam on Wednesday. Friday you are going to present your evolution project to the class.
