Valentine’s Day Presentation
I posted my infamous Biology of Love lecture on slideshare a couple of months ago and since then it’s been downloaded over 100 times! The success has inspired me to update the lecture for 2008. Here is the updated 2nd version.
Slideshare doesn’t support videos so I had to take those out. I use various clips from youtube that show interesting courtship rituals and then, of course, the finale which is the dance scene from Saturday Night Fever. The kids love it. We eat sweetharts candy and I give out small giveaways for correctly answering trivia questions. This year I’m only going to give the presentation to my AP students because sadly, my 9th graders are not mature enough. I did successfully show it to my 9th graders last year, though.
