This week in science

This week in science, we did not accomplish much but, it was a handful. On Monday, we finished presenting our cockroaches experiment data. Then on Tuesday, we debriefed on the experiments. We learnt that the traits that are in the roach will help it survive in the wilderness and face the enviorment that it lives in. 
Then for the rest of the week, we went on to simulations that teach us about one main idea: The traits that we have are to help us live in the area that we live in. When we first came to humans, we did not loose our fur from monkeys, all of a sudden, we evolved and changed in to humans with skin and no fur after many generations of changing. SO, slowly, our DNA changes to make our offspring bodies in to  more suitable to the enviorment that we live in.
That is what i hypothesize the reason for us having us do this unit.
