Importance of Deep-Sea Ecosystems – What Killed the Seeds?
Most drugs used today come from nature, so the discovery of new ecosystems in the deep sea is exciting from a medical perspective. Scholars develop their own bioassay to test germination rates in seeds.

Z-Scores
Learners solve problems by identifying the percent of area under the curve. In this statistics lesson, students discuss z-scores as they calculate the different percentages under the bell curve. They calculate the standard deviation.
