Wednesday February 26 EOCT Question of the Day 1)Around 350 BC the famous philosopher Aristotle claimed that all living things should be classified into two categories: "Blood" or "No Blood." As time passed, the science of taxonomy became much more exact. Which of these did NOT play a major role in advancing taxonomy? the discovery of gravity the development of the microscope the increase in speed of computers the creation of advanced techniques to analyze DNA • Discovery of Gravity • All of these have advanced the science taxonomy except the discovery of gravity.

Thursday February 27 EOCT Question of the Day • In 1850 there was a large snowshoe rabbit population in Manitoba, Canada. Over the years, the winter coloration (the color of the rabbit's fur) of the surviving rabbit population changed. The graph shows the change in winter coloration of rabbits between 1850 to 2000. Based on the data, we could hypothesize that • A) the winters are longer in length. • B) the snowshoe rabbit has migrated to another area. • C) the amount of snow covered varied over the years. • D) more snowshoe rabbit predators have moved into Manitoba. C) Based on the data, we could hypothesize that the amount of snow cover varied over the years. Winter white coloration is an adaptation for survival in snowy areas.

Thursday 3/6 Bellringer How can you find a book in the library? If books were not sorted by subject and number, how would readers be affected? Why would it be helpful to use the same system for organizing books at all libraries? There is an organization system present. Books are classified and grouped together by different things they have in common. Books would be difficult or nearly impossible to find. You would not know what was and wasn’t present. Visitors to another library would be able to easily find the books they needed if the sorting system were the same.
