Study for your Taxonomy quiz tomorrow. Review the PowerPoint slides under the "Lectures" tab. Read your textbook for clarification. I am also available during lunch for those who need help reviewing. Secondly, your taxonomy lab report is due on Friday.
EXTRA LEARNING:
Scientists recently discovered a new (taxonomic) family of amphibians. Here is an article in BBC News. Other scientists have been able to "revive" a plant from seeds that were frozen in Siberia for 32,000 years (New York Times). Some think this is a small step toward being able to bring back extinct Ice Age plants and animals. Lastly, remember your fossil evidence lab? Here is a case of scientists trying to figure out real tracks left by animals that lived 7 million years ago, in this case a herd of ancient elephants (BBC Nature).
