Student Instructions

After completing the assigned reading for tonight, identify the focus of a specific field within life science. You may create your Seesaw Post in any way and use any of the science resources and/or Internet sources to help you with your research. Your response must state the specific field, the focus of the field, its importance to life, and include your thoughts and/or additional information. For example, A Neuroparasitologist studies parasites which are capable of controlling the neurological systems and functions of a host. Just like the bee that has the eggs of a fly in its abdomen. The eggs are parasites and make the bee zombie-like so much so that it starts to fly around like a fly. Honey bees are important pollinators and finding out what is destroying bee colonies would be beneficial for everyone.
