Ear Genes

This week's experiment is a result of me looking over the various state science standards to see where I have gaps in coverage. One big gap turned up in genetics, so I began working on a couple of genetics videos. I kept finding more and more interesting stuff, and could not wait to share some and let you in on the fun. This time, we will take a quick look at dominant and recessive traits, to see what that really means. To explore that, you will need:

- your ears
- the ears of other family members

Fact checking GMOs

While I was writing this post, I heard that Bill Nye and Ken Ham are planning to have a debate about evolution and creation. While it could be an interesting conversation, I suspect that it will suffer from the same communication problems that afflict most of these debates.
