I can gather relevant background information from a variety of primary and secondary sources. This means my sources represent domestic or international perspectives. It also means my evidence is directly related to a global issue and the hypothesis or research thesis. I can also analyze this evidence. This means I can identify what’s important, and how it applies to my hypothesis or thesis.

This was the research used to create a biome project. To be able to do this project my partner and I had to do a fair amount of research to truly understand what we are talking about. Our research was focused around the tropical rainforest biome. We then had to go further and research and familiarize ourselves with the genetic diversity of the rainforest. By doing so we learned about various animals whose populations are low. Our next step was to then propose a method to increase that animals population to result in increased genetic diversity. Through our research we learned of the various factors contributing to the decline in biodiversity, and how an increase in genetic diversity can actually have a negative impact on a species population.
