APES homework this weekend and BIOLOGY homework


Biology- read the chapter "Immersion" in the Hot Zone

APES
Due to basketball playoffs I'm eliminating the LOE podcast for this weekend.

You DO need to complete the article assignment though!
You have a 5 year window for the article.

It should be about human Population and it should be acquired through the county web search of the country you are interested in (OTHER Than the USA).

Here is how you do that:

type in-  site:
then type a period and the the country code

http://www.worldstandards.eu/other/tlds/

If you are going to search Canada, you would type this in the search address bar (not just google search) you will get what you need to type:    site:.ca 

If for some reason you can't get it to work out just find an article on human population from the regular U.S. site.

Here's a great article from Zimbabwe, you can't use it, but it may give you some ideas of what to search!
