their work. Every problem has a solution and it would just take a little more effort but these problems could be resolved easily. Good ideas for involving a web based strategy is having the students use Google Docs and create a presentation on the 6 biomes. Children today are growing up in a society where ten and eleven years old children have cell phones. These cell phones can scan, email, fax, video chat, and do a whole lot of other things. The majority of the students that

DNA in Forensic Science DNA is the carrier of genetic information in humans and other living organisms. It has become a very useful tool in forensic science since it was discovered. In forensic science, DNA testing is used to compare the genetic structure of two individuals to establish whether there is a genetic relationship between them. One example of the use of DNA in forensic science that is important in biology today is comparing a suspect’s DNA profile to DNA that was discovered at a crime

Environmental Science Laura Stepp March 25, 2012 Abstract This article focuses on the rainforest’s and its structure, both biotic and abiotic and the the cycles that gives us the ability to live on this Earth.

Kelsey Williams Professor Reiner March 29, 2016 BIOL-108 Island Biogeography Lab Write-Up Purpose of lab: Calculating how many species were migrating to different islands Hypotheses: The main factors are island size and distance from the island. We hypothesized that islands close to a source area should have a higher number of species than islands further from the source area for islands of equivalent areas. Larger islands should have more species than smaller islands for islands
