BioBonanza is a one-day-open-house festival. All of the researchers in the Department of Biology are going to be showcasing their research so students can come and see research, interact with the researchers. And we want people to be able to interact and have fun of this event. As soon as you walk in the doors, you'll see all sorts of activities, displease of how a human heart works. We'll have sections of spinal cord and brain. You'll get to be able to see butterflies and all sorts of insects. You'll be able to try to catch some local insects and we'll have activities like walking through local plant gardens and seeing how photosynthesis work.

Printed "scholars", the speaker says "students"

Explanation: The speaker says "so students can come", not "scholars". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word and its ending.

Printed "images", the speaker says "displease"

Explanation: Listen for "displease of how a", not "images". The words start with different letters, so listen at the start of the word.

Printed "segments", the speaker says "sections"

Explanation: You will hear "We'll have sections of", not "segments". The first letter is the same, so wait for the middle or end to tell them apart.

Printed "moths", the speaker says "butterflies"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "see butterflies and all", not "moths". The spoken word is much longer, so listen for a longer word.

Printed "wandering", the speaker says "walking"

Explanation: Listen again to "walking through local plant", not "wandering". Both words end the same, so focus on the middle of the word to decide.

"research" matches the audio

Explanation: "showcasing their research so" looks like a repeat and may seem odd. The speaker actually says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"photosynthesis" matches the audio

Explanation: "seeing how photosynthesis work" may look unusual and attract attention. The speaker says this word exactly as printed, so do not click it.
