DNA Paper Models! Our class DNA strand was completed today and we finished with 206 nucleotide base pairs! That may seem big... but 206 nucleotides is only about 0.00000006% of a normal human DNA strand which includes 3 billion base pairs! Once we finished constructing our DNA paper models, we began working on our DNA model project. Students were given the majority of the class period to either work independently or in small groups to create and engineer a model of DNA. Thus far, the progress has been great and there are some great looking models in the making!

Welcome back after not one, not two, but THREE Snow Days! As a result of the snow days - we will push back our Unit 5 Cellular Division Celebration of Learning to Monday, February 10th. Please use the weekend to your advantage to review the material - specifically the Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis. On Thursday, February 6th, the 2014 Winter Olympics began in Sochi, Russia. To celebrate this great event, we will be watching short interesting science videos created by ASAPScience about the Olympics each day as we start class! Today, we featured their first installment of the Olympics Series titled Amazing Olympic Facts.(posted below)
