At the beginning of the week, students connected all their
DNA strands to create a 7th grade DNA sequence. This stand will be on display in the 7th
grade science room for the rest of the year!
From here, students took their first step into genetics. We discussed what we already know about our
traits and where they came from. Additionally,
students began to learn about the Father of Genetics, Gregor Mendel and his pea
plants.
On Thursday, students were given an optional extra credit
for over the break. You can find the
directions on the 7th grade filing cabinet. This extra credit is worth up to 10 points!
Students are able to choose an article about science from the news and create a
summary and reflection on it. Students
can choose up to 2 article reflections to complete.
Once we get back from break, students will get right back
into genetics with some in class simulations and discovery. I hope everyone has a nice and relaxing
break!
