This PowerPoint presentation, "When environmental conditions promote evolution: An introduction to morpho-physiological and behavioral differences between two phocids", was submitted as a capstone project
as part of the PolarTREC Online Course Series by participant Patricia Azinhaga. This stand-alone presentation can be used to complement a Life Science lesson.
Coring trees is a way of learning about trees without cutting them down. When a tree is cored, the rings are examined to learn about the history and growth of a tree. In this lesson students will participate in a hands-on activity to help them investigate what information can be gained by studying and comparing tree core samples collected
