Here is our class schedule for this week:

Begin Science Fair Background Research and Stem Festival Research

Notes and Practice: 5.1 History of Life
200 words Essay over topic 1 or topic 2
Topic 1:
Does speculation about the origin of life fit into natural science? Do we have enough evidence to suggest what happened in the beginning stages of life? What assumptions must be made in order to do this?
Topic 2:
If we were to speculate about the origin of the universe, is it reasonable to assume that the physical laws operated the same in the beginning as we believe they operate today? Why or why not?

Wednesday Half Day (if you have class)
TURKEY Day Drawing
Search to find the ancestry of the modern turkey. Create an illustration of an ancient ancestor of the Turkey and give a few details about it.​
