Patents with Brain injuries can relearn facial emotions.
A female patient suffered a brain injury that made her forget facial expressions. When she was showed differnt pictures of sad, mad, and nervous faces she didnt know what they meant. After awhile she was able to relearn the differnt facial expressions by being shown diffent emotions.
I think this is cool because it makes me think that you can relearn anything to a certain point when you loose your memory.

Egg experiment
In the egg experiment we had 300mg of water and 100mg of corn syrup. After 3 days our egg began to shrink. By the end of the 3rd day it was nothing but the yoak left. Because we added corn syrup, the egg was unable to soak enogh water to keep it form deflating. If we just had water the egg would have gotten bigger because it would have swelled from soaking in alot of water. If we only had corn syrup with the egg, the egg would have been completly defalted.

What is Biology?
Biology is a science of life. Have you ever wanted to know why your body works the way it does? Biology is the scientific answer. It is also the answer to many other life questions. Biology is a good thing because it helps us know why nature works the way it does. Without Biology we probally wouldnt know simple things like differnt types of blood. Biology can also be a bad thing. Because Biology has advanced so much and we are leaning so many things that we didnt know before that we have developed unnatual things because of it, like designer babies.
