This week, we discussed genetic disorders and studied the characteristics of four common ones: cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell anemia, hemophilia, and Down Syndrome.  We reviewed for our genetics test on Tuesday and Wednesday, and we finished our unit with the test on Thursday. When we come back from break, we will begin our chapter on DNA, and students will be introduced to their "genetic disorder project."  Have a relaxing and enjoyable winter break!
