Activity 1: The Simpsons Tackle Evolution
You've already defined "evolution". Now use online resources to find out what is meant by "creationism"

Watch the clip of the Simpson episode entitled, "**//Monkey Suit//**" beginning at 7:48. As you watch take note of how people are reacting to the ideas of both evolution and creationism in school. Watch until everyone's favorite middle child, Lisa Simpson, is arrested!!

2. Do you think something like this could actually happen?

Activity 2a: The Scopes Monkey Trial Play Me!!
Read and mark-up the text of the document below , h ighlight and insert comments.
 * Directions:**

Once you've completed reading and marking up / highlighting / commenting you'll be learning how to share your comments with one another online, using a program called **Pirate Pad.**  Each of you will be assigned a Piratepad website which will connect you with other classmates. Each of you should upload/copy paste your word documents with mark-ups comments and highlights into the left hand side of the page.

Read each other's comments and chat with each other about these on the right hand side where it says "chat"

Watch the slide below and in your Pirate Pad connect the content in the slide to the Butler Act with your partner. media type="custom" key="6531379"

= Conclusion: =
 * To complete today’s work you may select one of two __options__ to show us what you have learned.**


 * 1.** Create a Glog using //Glogster.com// to illustrate what you have learned about //__Tennessee v. John Scope__.//
 * 2.** Create a Slideshow using //Slide.com// to illustrate your learning.
 * Both options should include videos/pictures/audio/text to make the final product interactive.

In thisl project you should show evidence of what you have learned and your analysis of the case. In the end this project should be something that would help US History students at Malden High School learn about this trial while applying content from their Biology class.

Use any resources on the Science and the Courts wikispace to help you, including any activities and links we haven’t used this week.

= Activity 3: Competing Views on the Monkey Trial (extension) =

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Split from your fours back into pairs. In pairs you will complete one of the following two tasks:

1) Listen to music from the Monkey Trial at the following website: Music from the Monkey Trial Once you have listened to a number of the musical selections, choose one to analyze using an I Hear / It Means. You will then record your analysis of that selection using a podcast which can be used by Malden High history teachers.

2)· Compare the actual trial to the play (and later Hollywood film) //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Inherit the Wind // Comparison between the trial and Inherit the Wind

Once you have gone through four or five of the selections, compare the actual trial to the movie version. Summarize your work and record your summary comparing history to entertainment as a Podcast <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">which can be used by Malden High history teachers.

Summary: The Scopes Monkey Trial and it's effects today (extension)
How the U.S. Teaches Evolution Check out the link above to see how states today teach evolution. You might be surprised to find out how different the states remain on this issue.

There has been lots made of the Scopes Monkey Trial. However, issues are still being debated in the American Justice System over the role that science plays in our lives. Recently a case very similar to the Monkey Trial happened in Delaware. Brainstorm other ways that you think science has impacted the justice system in America. Tomorrow, you're going to be looking at some resources to help you discover how science has played a major role in the American Justice System.
