9th Grade Biology

[Ptychodus04]

I got to spend the day today talking about evolution and fossils with 9 freshman biology classes. It was a lot of fun. Kids these days are smart and ask some well thought out questions.

[Raggedy Man]

Sounds like you had a great time!

[JarrodB]

Glad you spared the kids the kilt or you would have many more questions. lol

[Macrophyseter]

Awesome! Sounds like those kids really liked you, are you going to be guest speaker for a school again in the future?

 

And for some reason I'm thinking about what if one of those students tracked you down to here?

Very heartwarming

Sewing the seeds for future Forum Members? 

Anyway, a very worthwhile thing

Kudos to you for doing this! Us freshies are very good at sounding smart, though actually being smart is up for debate

Nice one Kris.

I’ve given talks at multiple schools as my kids grew up. This was the 2nd group of biology students this school year. 

 

It’s a lot of fun and the kids usually enjoy the fossils. I set up stations and have them investigate and try to deduce as much from the fossils as possible in 5 minutes. Then we discuss.
