Today in class, we continued our discussion on Evolution. We looked at a number of pictures of cell phones pictured HERE. We discussed with a partner how this shows the theory of evolution and some observations that were made to support it.

In class, students were to write 1 paragraph about how the cell phones represented evolution along with stating observations to support their theory. This is due during the next class.

Also, parent letters went home today which talked about class supplies, policies, projects, internet and computer use, as well as grades for the semester. A copy of the parent letter can be found HERE.
