Please go to chapter 50 of the Campbell biology website. Look for the two activities under 50.1 and 50.2 it looks like what is pictured on the left here <— Watch both of the activities. For 50.1 give a short summary of the 3 different people’s viewpoints on pesticide.

For activity 50.2 give a short description of how each organism’s adaptations help them survive in the summer and winter. Be sure to include the organism, the type of adaptation and a description of the adaptation.

This homework is also a goog file if you want to complete this electronically: 8/21 homework
