Scientific American Frontiers - Life's Big Questions: Where Did Life Come From? (Teaching Guide)
Description:
"Life's Big Questions: Where Did Life Come From?" takes the viewer with biologists Norman Pace and Sue Barns as they search for answers as to the origin of life in the boiling hot springs of Yellowstone. The discovery that microscopic creatures can survive in these extreme conditions, along with DNA analysis, suggests that these organisms may be similar to the earliest life forms on Earth. There are two activities included in this lesson: - Activity 1: Just How Tough are Bacteria? - Activity 2: Volcanic Calderas.
