Looking at transportation and the environment, students learn that some human-made creations, such as vehicles, can harm the environment. They also learn about alternative fuels and vehicles designed by engineers to minimize pollution. The associated hands-on activity gives students a chance to design their own eco-friendly vehicle.
Individual bacteria with trait variations that allow them to survive exposure to …
Individual bacteria with trait variations that allow them to survive exposure to antibiotics, reproduce. Over time this leads to a shift in the distribution of traits in bacteria populations, so that those variations become more prevalent over time.

You will use Google maps to continue to investigate the two different environments that you were introduced to in the juncos case you are studying in class. This page shows you how to use the map view, satellite view, and street view options for exploring UCSD. Record your observations for this environment on this page. The back page provides the same for Mt. Laguna.
