- Take out any headphones you may have--you’ll need them for the videos you are going to watch
- All answers you compose should be added to a new Google Doc in your Google Drive "Biology" folder
- Answer the following question after watching the video below: How did life on earth probably begin? Write a three to five-sentence paragraph to answer this question.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/origins-life.html
- Now, go to the main Evolution page on NOVA's website:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/
Choose a category--video, article, interview, interactive, or anything else in the list that looks interesting--and open it. After sampling a few items, watch, listen or play the one that seems the most interesting and go all the way through it. Write a summary of what you learned in a 5 to 8-sentence paragraph.
