b) What is the underlying science behind the idea? *** Super important c) What are the applications (industrial, academic, intellectual or otherwise) of the research? d) How are humans creating their own version of the trait/skill/adaptation or incorporating it into their own research? e) Why do we look to nature for ideas/guides to creating our own technology? You will have 4 days of computer lab time for research. You will have several days to coauthor a 2-3 page paper (12pt. font, double-spaced) and create a short Powerpoint presentation of your findings (5-7 minutes so practice and time yourself). PowerpointsIntro to Ecology
Population Growth Ecosystem Ecology MACROMOLECULE REVIEW CONTENT MACROMOLECULES Another Macromolecule ppt - relevant slides are 17 - 39 Short review - ignore the caffeine part Protein structure animation Another vid of protein structure - long but really good That Bozeman science guy - very good too DNA replication websites:Great walkthroughs: Additional Walkthroughs: How to extract DNA from anything: Useful PowerPoint: Genetics Websites
