1/23

This week, students gave their genetic disorder presentations. Overall, I have to 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. Next week, we will discuss how DNA works and discover the basic principles of genetic engineering. We will even do a DNA extraction lab so that students can actually see what DNA looks like!

Saturday, January 24th, is the District 58 Science Fair. Our 7th grade PC students will be taking part in it this year. 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.
