In our latest F.I.N.D. Project activity students from all schools of the program raised questions of scientific content. Then each student voted for the five questions that interest her/him more.
Most voters selected the following question:
How would life on Earth be if the giant meteorite had not struck us 64 million years ago?
Within the framework of the project the students will seek answers to the question above and create a video that sums them up. Get ready… here come the dinosaurs!
Of course the rest of the questions submitted will also get some attention!
