This week, students gave their genetic disorder presentations. Overall, I must say that I was quite impressed with the projects! A large variety of Impress slide shows, brochures, and posters were produced by the students. Each class was able to learn about almost twenty different genetic disorders. Students took notes during the presentations and will be able to use these notes on their genetic disorder quiz (Wednesday). Next week, we will discuss how DNA works and the basic principles of genetic engineering. We will even do a DNA extraction lab so that students can actually see DNA!
Saturday, January 26th, is the District 58 Science Fair. The project challenge students have worked hard and are ready to show their projects to the world. Come and cheer them on at O'Neill Middle School! The projects are open to the public from 10:30 to 11:30 in the morning.
