Students will learn how to describe pets in Spanish by drawing their own pet or desired pet. Students will describe how their pet looks and its characteristics. After describing their pet, students will share how their pet looks and how their pet acts to a partner. This activity familiarizes students with different animals and descriptions of animals.

In this lesson students will see the different types of evidence scientists use to understand evolutionary relationships among organisms. They will first practice by using shared physical characteristics to predict relationships among members of the cat family and then use this approach to predict primate relationships. They will compare their predictions to evidence provided by analyzing amino acid sequences and build a phylogenetic tree based on these sequences. Finally, they will look at the tree in the context of time in order to see divergence times.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"When your cat is sick or painful, you take him or her to the veterinarian But pain behaviors are subtle and unique in cats - pain assessment can be difficult and they may not receive proper analgesic treatment Pain assessment tools have been created, but they can be time-consuming to use and can be affected by the cat’s demeanor Now, researchers at the Université de Montréal have developed the Feline Grimace Scale Similar to grimace scales in other species, the tool is a simple method of pain assessment using changes in facial expressions Using video recordings of 70 cats, the researchers compared the images of painful and non-painful cats using rigorous scientific methods They found that the position of the eyes, ears, whiskers, muzzle and head changes under painful conditions These changes will return to their normal position after the administration of pain killers Tests showed that the tool is accurate, valid and reliable, and a cut-off score for rescue analgesia was determined The Fel.."
