In the second paragraph (application), explain how the article relates to a specific topic we have covered in class. Be specific about the connection to class content demonstrating your ability to understand and communicate the science within the article/documentary as it relates to biological principles taught in class. Explain what you learned from the article/documentary. If possible, briefly explain how the article/documentary relates to you on a personal level.
