DINO BRAINS!

by Abby McHallam

I found an article that was published yesterday in “The New York Times”, researchers have just found the first fossilized dinosaur brain. Paleontologists believe they have found the first ever fossilized brain tissue from a dinosaur. They have used today’s technology to perform a forensic examination of the fossil and were able to determine it has capillaries, blood vessels and tissue from the cortex, the outer part of the brain, and meninges, the membrane that helps keep the brain in place.

Welcome to E Physics!

This blog is for the students of E pd Physics to share their summaries and images of progress, projects, and related articles & videos with the Medway community and the world.  We have two questions that must be answered before we can go further.  The first is your homework tonight:

Who Are You?

1. Go to Google Classroom
2. Join the class with the code: jw4uz5
3. Complete the first assignment by 11:59pm Tuesday

The resulting slideshow will be embedded in the About section of this blog.  After all, you'll all be authors.

Who Are We?

The next day we'll collectively set norms for the class.  Think about the classes you've had.  Think about your ideal class.  What would it be like?  What would it not be like?  What should we expect of each other?
