Today, we started our new (and last ) unit: Earth’s History and Biological
Evolution. I will talk to each class about that we are learning about the scientific
theories and everyone has their own personal beliefs and opinions on some of the
topics we will be learning about. We are simply learning the theories and are not
trying to change anyone’s beliefs/opinions throughout this unit. That being said, we
will start with learning about the project students will be working on throughout
the unit. They will be creating an exhibit about an extinct animal.
We will start with a game where we look to see how much we know about
dinosaurs.
