Biology AP Chapter 51 Animal Behavior
To reiterate the processes that inform animal behavior, Keaton was shown a video of cooperation between and fish and an eel. We discussed the evolutionary processes that would inspire two different species to work together, We listened to radio lab podcasts on morality and intelligence in chimps, crows, and dolphins.

I administered test for Chapter 51, covering animal behavior. Keaton was asked approximately 65 multiple-choice questions, similar to self-test questions included in the AP Biology text. This test is provided by Campbell Reece AP Biology eighth edition test bank, and represents college level review.
