      If you miss watching the Double Helix video in class, you may use this website to gather information about the scientists who contributed to the discovery of the structure of DNA. I've highlighted the names of the individuals that were listed on the video guide that students used to take notes on as they watched the video.

      I used blue to highlight the quantitative data used as evidence to support the claims made in this article.
  • two and 10 out of every 100 U.S. birds may die this way.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • 365 million and 988 million
  • an average of 24 birds die every year at any given skyscraper,
  • a single small building may kill, on average, around two birds each year
  • Homes and other buildings that are up to three stories tall account for a far larger share: 44 percent.
  • skyscrapers are responsible for less than 1 percent of bird deaths resulting from window collisions
  • The largest share of these deaths, 56 percent, occurred when birds smashed into the windows of buildings four to 11 stories tall.
  • more than 6,500 of these lower-rise buildings for every skyscraper
  • cats may kill up to three times as many U.S. birds each year as windows do.
  • estimate the total risk posed by window glass, he and his coworkers combined the results from 23 studies of bird deaths

    Buildings in the United States can be deadly obstacles to flying birds. A new study estimates that as many as 1 billion birds die every year after colliding with windows. And low buildings - not skyscrapers - account for most of those deaths.
