We watched an episode of Cosmos (s1e2) on evolution and had a backchannel going using todaysmeet.com. I really like this format for watching longer videos as it allows for some deeper thinking and engagement when compared to a worksheet. Also it gives students who might have trouble following a rapid discussion during class can follow the written dialogue. So some of the student questions that came up today that led to great discussions:
-Would evolution occur on other planets?
-What would life look like if evolution just stopped, would we get more similar or different?
-If we sent bacteria to another planet and it evolved into an advanced life form, would they still be aliens?
-Are humans evolving?
