This week, we discussed the structure and history of DNA. We learned how DNA replicates and how DNA nucleotide bases pair up (like puzzle pieces). We will be making DNA models next week to reinforce our learning. Students were also introduced to their second big project of the year. Each student (or group) will be required to research a genetic disorder and present their findings to the class. Students may choose to create a slide show presentation, poster, or brochure to inform their classmates about their topic. Students will have FOUR days next week to work in the computer lab, so don't expect to see much work coming home! Students have received a detailed project rubric in order to guide their research. We began our research on Friday, and it looks like students are off to a good start!
