Starting an oldie but goodie thread. I am getting ready to start Threshold 5 on Monday and I am looking for the lessons that I cannot miss for the week? Does anyone have an idea that is original or outside the BHP curriculum to inspire a new idea? I would love to hear your thoughts and recommendations.

Jason Manning , Here's a small thing, but it's a great hook to pair with How closely Related are We? which is one of my favorites.
It's a 6-minute video time-lapse of how a salamander develops from a single cell. In the beginning, it could be any organism. It takes a long time before students can identify if it's human or not. Pretty cool,

Donnetta Elsasser this is a cool video that I didn't know existed. It can very well be paired with the article "Is Evolution Evolving?" that we read in class. At the beginning the article compares the eggs of salamanders that live in a pond next to the road and are exposed to contaminants with the eggs in a pond located in the forest. The experiment demonstrates that the former are more resistant and survive in high numbers. This video will be an addition to my classes. Thanks for sharing it!

Hi Donnetta Elsasser Yes, I agree. It is nice to hear that you use this also because I start the lesson with this activity. It typically starts a good conversation.

I think so too!
The salamander clip just furthers the concept of how we all start out the same. It doesn't take up too much time, yet provides more impact than the DNA matching sheet by itself.
