8th October 31 -- November 4

Monday & Tuesday

We will be looking at a case study of field mustard, which will give us an understanding of the limitations to adaptations.  Students will analyze a graph that shows field mustard adapting to drought conditions. This will lead us into our exploration into two new options for treating bed bugs that are resistant to Invade Insecticide.  We will be looking at an alternative insecticide, as well as heat treatments.  Students will weigh the costs and benefits of each.

If students still have not completed their Unit Challenge Scenario Packet - they will use any time left to work on this.
