5 New Feathered Dinosaurs

Origin of birds confirmed by exceptional new dinosaur fossils

For this project you should start by reading this article that describes some finds of fossils that add to the wealth of information about early birds. Then write a paragraph that summarized the article. Paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.

Finally you should link to an article about any other topic related to evidence of past organisms. There are many examples of where new finds filled in information that scientists had been looking for. Finally write a paragraph summarizing the material in that article. Again, paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.

Make sure you put your ID and class section on your work. This project is due by midnight Sunday, 10/11. If you did not do the last project you are required to do this one. If you do both projects one will count for extra credit. If you have problems, email me at aphsbio at gmail.com.

Finally you should link to an article about any other topic related to evolution. It can be about other organisms extinctions or continued existence over long tracts of time. It could be about how conditions led to extinctions of specific species. It could be about different types of evidence for evolution. Finally write a paragraph summarizing the material in that article. Again, paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.

Make sure you put your ID and class section on your work. This project is due by midnight Sunday, 9/27. Remember, you are required to do either this project or the one that will come next. If you do both, one will count for extra credit. If you have problems, email me at aphsbio at gmail.com.
