What's a GMO? Should MD use them? Today Ss @ArbutusMS analyzed articles to determine if they were good sources and to create their opinions. @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

Today Ss @ArbutusMS created their #2023MMM brackets! Many good discussions about which animals will win! @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

What's the best way to review science topics? Well, @ArbutusMS Ss use escape rooms! @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

Today Ss @ArbutusMS ran simulations to determine how pollution might change the environment and how moth populations might respond through Natural Selection. @BCPSSci

[March Mammal Madness @MMMletsgo]

BRACKET DROP DAY!!!!! #2023MMM
Are you a player? an educator? a learner?
There is a dedicated page for you at the ASU March Mammal Madness LibGuide! https://t.co/V2epHY0WIO

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

How does the environment changing impact animal populations? Ss @ArbutusMS examined how Natural Slection influences populations. @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

@Mammals_Suck The amount of smack talk happening in my room is DELIGHTFUL!

[Prof. Katie Hinde @Mammals_Suck]

As per long-standing tradition, in honor of Darwin Day, we announce the #2023MMM Divisions! https://t.co/uYd3yA9dTd #2023MMM

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

What are the odds offspring will have a trait? Ss @ArbutusMS used Punnett squares today to make their predictions. @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

How does a change in genetic information change a trait? Ss @ArbutusMS discovered how one change can cause a "domino" effect that can impact survival. @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

How can chromosomes affect traits? Ss @ArbutusMS created karyotypes to determine what might occur. @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

How do genes influence traits? Ss @ArbutusMS randomly selected genes to create dogs to compare their traits. @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

How can we organize which animals are related? Phylogenetic trees is the answer! Ss @ArbutusMS completed a puzzle game to determine how to interpret these useful diagrams. @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

Whose related? Ss @ArbutusMS used x-rays of "hands" to determine which animals may be related. @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

What are Homologous and Analogous structures and what can they tell us. Today Ss @ArbutusMS explored the terms to determine which animals are related. @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

What can we learn from fossils? Ss @ArbutusMS completed a stations rotation to figure it all out. @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

Wow that's a lot of time!

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

Just how long is geologic time? Ss @ArbutusMS created scaled timelines to see how we organize geologic time.

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

Will hurricanes increase in frequency and intensity in the next 100 years? Ss @ArbutusMS used unit data to create written arguments answer this question. @BCPSSci

[Alice Buckner @AliceBucknerSci]

Just another great costume day @ArbutusMS!!
