1st Post: September 11, 2014
AP Biology students 2014-15,

Here is our first opportunity to Blog about the wonderful world of biology!  Every  other Wednesday I will post a blog promt to get us talking about biology.  Your contribution to the blog is due one week after the initial posting.  Essentially it is a participation grade, so if you respond to my posts and / or respond to other peoples posts you will have met the requirements for this assignment.

So do not stress over this .... let's have fun blogging about biology.

Task find an interesting biology news article on line and provide the link.  Next, write a brief statement about why this article is interesting.  (No repeating other students articles.)

Science News, November 5, 2013 "Clay may have been birthplace of Life on Earth"

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/11/131105132027.htm


This article suggests a mechanism for how complex organic molecules like DNA or RNA could have been organized with the use of clay particles.  This suggests how these molecules necessary for life could have been synthasized before the evolution of the first cell membranes.

Ok, now read and comment on this article (or one your peers posted) or post your own article and comment on it.
