Darwin is famous for his discovery in the Galapagos islands, studying finches. The finches were all from derived from the same original finch but over time they were separated into “groups” by the difference of their beaks due to the finches living on different islands they were open to different resources to survive from. The one thing that Darwin didn’t understand was how exactly the finches did change how their bodies know how to create and make their beaks different. That is what we know now. With the study of DNA we understand that when an animal is changing by evolution their actual DNA changes too. The DNA strand develops different instructions over time to better serve survival. BY this new information we now know that it is possible to change animals unnaturally by changing their DNA. It also helps us understand that we all evolved from certain animals, for example us as humans are believed to have evolved from fish.

BC and Confederation
- Explain why BC’s independence was not a viable option.
The economy was already in decline from the gold rush, population was in decline too, BC was in too weak of a position financially that they wouldn’t be able to become their own country.
- Explain why BC remaining a British Colony was not a viable option.
Britain didn’t want to be responsible for the debt (gold rush) that BC had accumulated. It was also difficult to defend a country from so far away.
- Explain the argument for annexation to America.
The Rocky Mountains made it harder for them to exchange goods with the rest of Canada. And they hared the pacific coast so it made more sense to join America.
- Explain the argument for Confederation with Canada.
They wanted to stay independent, and MacDonald got Canada all over (east to west)
Why were the Douglas treaties signed?
The Europeans took advantage of the aboriginals inability to understand what was going on with their land and their peace offer. They also took advantage of the law, and the aboriginals not knowing their law , by changing the legal documents about their land after they had sighned.
Slope as a rate of Change-week 16
I just completed the graph, but it really shows nicely what the points mean in correlation with the time and distance. The slope formula tells us the distance per hour and teh grapgh tells us if its negative or positive.
