On this site you’ll find the assignments for science and important information for this year.

This week before Thanksgiving, we will learn about heredity in Chapter 8. What a wonderful time for family together and observe common straits. We will start with Mendelian genetics and move into applied genetics today. It should be an interesting study. Student will extract DNA from peas as a final activity. How wonderful!

Makeup tests! If you miss a test, that test can be made up at 7:30 in the morning. Please check with me the day before you plan to come to make sure I will be available.

Thanks
