Transformations, more than meets the eye!

Our genetics class worked through the pBLU transformation lab (Carolina Biological).  There is something to be said about actually doing a lab rather than a computer simulation.  Will take some pictures of the results tomorrow.  Our test is moved back to Monday.

In chemistry, we worked a little on balancing equations before doing some work on the famous chemists / scientists ... one was Faraday ... Ms Foster replied in our meeting after school that he was one of the most famous.  After reading about him this evening, I would have to agree. A common man make good story about a great experimenter!  We are beginning our review for our chemistry unit test but will conduct our gunpowder lab on Monday as part of our study of chemical reactions.

On the the 21st of this month, the Selected Topics class will be going over to Bowling Green Technical College for a tour of three campuses.  It is an opportunity to make contact with BGTC and to see first hand the courses of study they offer.

Checked 2-D problems in computer programming today ... Tomorrow is our last day in qBASIC, Monday we begin our study of Microsoft Visual BASIC with the use of graphical user interfaces.

We had a science department meeting after school today.  We are going to adjust our Selected Topics class to contain more physics.  This will be a challenge for me since I am really a biologist.  I am interested to add a unit on electricity and circuitry to this course.

Coach Mark Carter took softball practice this afternoon while I was at the science meeting.  Tomorrow KP signs her letter of intent to play softball at WKU.
