Good afternoon,
Everyone has been hard at work on their final projects for the cycle. For their Natural World final project, the groups have been working on designing their own imaginary species and creating traits for the species that follow the genetic rules that they have studied. For Social World they have been creating a travel guide for one of the civilizations they have been learning about.
