LIFE ON THE (URBAN) FARM

The video highlights various scientific topics, including a fossil discovery by Carissa Raymond, research on dinosaur colors, and the Urban Hydro Farmers Project by Boston College. It emphasizes the importance of engaging students in science and concludes with a reflection on science education.

What was Carissa Raymond's significant discovery during her fossil hunting trip?

• A previously unknown mammal species

• An ancient plant species

• A new dinosaur species

• A rare bird fossil

What are melanosomes believed to reveal about dinosaurs?

• Their lifespan

• Their colors

• Their size

• Their diet

How do scientists question the role of melanosomes in determining dinosaur colors?

• By suggesting they are impressions left by microbes

• By claiming they are too small to analyze

• By arguing they are not found in fossils

• By stating they are only present in birds

What is the primary goal of the Urban Hydro Farmers Project?

• To engage students in building hydroponic systems

• To replace soil-based farming with hydroponics

• To teach students about traditional farming

• To promote urban gardening in all cities

What is a secondary aim of the Urban Hydro Farmers Project?

• To engage budding scientists and engineers

• To increase crop yield in urban areas

• To reduce the cost of farming

• To introduce new farming technologies
