Biology Students Visit Hub to Research Evolution

On Monday, 11th grade Biology students from Ms. Ana Tapia’s class researched examples and evidence of evolution, using a variety of audio-visual web resources, including documentaries, high-resolution photographs of fossils, university web pages, and scientific articles. Below, read some of their reports, and check out the pictures!
