Located 300 miles off the southeastern coast of South America, the Falklands are home to some of the world\u2019s largest penguin, seal, and sea bird colonies. The islands were also once home to an extinct species of fox called the warrah. How and when did the warrah reach the Falklands?

During the expedition, we will be posting a new video and write-up at the beginning of each week. These materials are meant to provide you with more information about our researcher and how he or she engages in practices common to all scientists and [\u2026] Read more<\/a><\/p>\n Throughout our journey, we will be getting more familiar with the things that scientists and engineers do. Not only are these practices central to the life of a scientist but also to your own experiences in the science classroom and beyond. We\u2019ll start by asking questions.

In this week\u2019s video, Kit will be: developing and using models, constructing explanations [\u2026] Read more<\/a><\/p>\n Last week we introduced the practice of developing and using models showing different ways the warrah might have reached the Falkland Islands. We will explore how Kit will be using models to help her decide what sorts of data she should collect while she is in the field.
