Writing Assignments
 Take one of the articles from last week about symbiosis (links are pasted below for convenience). Outline it and write it in your own words. OR…you can make a persuasive case of your own of how any other symbiotic relationship highlights creation instead of evolution.

Ant Farmers and their Aphids
Yahweh, Yuccas, and a Young Earth

Option: Make a poster that illustrates symbiosis and gives the credit to our Creator instead of evolution. You will need to have several sections on the poster feature your own writing.

  1. The video or Activation Energy in the workbook pages is no longer available.

    1. Thank you SO much for letting us know! We so appreciate you! We’ll get it fixed up asap!

  2. Week 2 guest hollow lab, who took jerrels I pod is no longer available 404 error

    1. I just checked, and the link is working for me. It does show the 404 notice briefly, but if you give the page more time to load, everything comes up fine. 🙂
      Here are the direct links to the PDFs (student’s PDF and the teacher’s PDF):
      https://web.archive.org/web/20150329032901/http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/sci_edu/waldron/pdf/WhoTookJerellsIpod.pdf
      https://web.archive.org/web/20150329001552/http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/sci_edu/waldron/pdf/WhoTookJerellsIpodTeachPrep.pdf
      Give those a try and see if they will work for you. Just a note, though, PDF links on the web.archive.org site won’t usually open on a tablet or phone. You have to be on a PC or laptop to download. 🙂
