Currently, the Grade 6 Humanities classes are studying early humans and the development from early bipeds such as Sahelanthropus tchadensis all the way to modern Homo sapiens. An underlying and constant question has been, "What makes us human?"
On Friday, 28 January 2011, Room 318 (my - Mr. Denby - classes) and Dr. Everett's classes took part in an experiment pitting teams of Grade 6 students vs. a solitary chimpanzee. The goal? To get a single peanut out of a deep graduated cylinder without moving the cylinder.
The results? Well, watch and find out to see how things played out.
