Im really excited about our upcoming lessons in evolution! Ive been thinking about doing this for a while now, and after finding out that we could 3D print various hominid skulls at our library, Im excited to get going! Im fleshing out our lessons now and the ideas are so exciting! Well be painting pictures of DNA along with the different characteristics it can affect. Feathers, eye color, hair color, brain development, scales, plumage, whatever we think of can be included! Well also be talking about viruses, vaccinations, and mutations. Well revisit our virus study and well also take a look at how quickly bacteria can go through generations, and talk about the chances of mutation. Well put on an evolution puppet show! We have a Charles Darwin finger puppet to act as the MC and well make paper puppets of various stages of life, all the way from nucleotides through humans! Well extract DNA using our Electrophoresis machine! Weve extracted DNA before, this time well actually be able to look at the DNA fingerprints!!! Man. This is going to be an AWESOME study. I cant wait to go through the evolution of life again with Kat! The last time we did this, she was 5, and we had a great time with our evolution puppet show. I cant wait to do a reprise, and include so many other awesome things! This is going to be great! :D
