AP BIOLOGY CURRENT EVENTS ASSIGNMENT



AP BIOLOGY CURRENT EVENTS ASSIGNMENT

2014-2015

In an effort to help you remember that science is waaaaaay cool, you are going to get to read current articles about important events in biological science. Approximately every other week you are to turn in 2 current event write-ups for a daily grade.

The following are the criteria:

Try to make it a CURRENT event , but if you find an awesome article about something that interests you, bring it in.

It must be relevant to BIOLOGICAL science – no physics but chemistry is allowed (or any other science). It must DIRECTLY relate to Biology.

Summarize each article in a paragraph similar to how you would write a conclusion to a lab (the purpose, the procedure, the data, conclusions; include relevance, major scientists/corporations/universities).

A clear, legible copy of the article on a separate paper(s) is required.

The article must come from a HARD COPY form – i.e. a magazine, newspaper, journal, possibly a book. It can also be a printout from the internet.

You MAY use references I have while IN MY ROOM before or after school or if there is time available in class. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT take my materials with you.

Make a cover sheet for the articles that includes your name, AP Biology, period, & due date centered at the bottom. The title of both articles (on separate lines) must be centered on the paper.
