8th Grade Instructions

Good Morning!

You should each have one copy of the Current Science titled Hard Evidence.
You have two assigned readings.
The first is Kyle EB. Read carefully and then answer the following questions in a Google Doc:

Skillbuilders: Kyle EB

Short Answer

1. What is the substance that Kyle Hicks’s skin cannot produce? What role does it play in the body?

2. What are adult stem cells?

3. Describe the tissue that was the source of stem cells for the transplant that doctors performed on Nate Liao.

4. Why is a transplant such as the one that Nate Liao underwent risky?

5. Name one or more major differences between the epidermis and the dermis.

When finished with the above questions and you have shared your doc with me AND there is still time left in class then read The Swarm and add a summary to the doc you were working on earlier. That's it.
