Several former students have checked in as they headed to college last week and this week ... good luck to all and learn everything ... going to college is a time to grow, learn and make life-long friends ... There is no other time like it.
Today in Genetics we started gel analysis. One of the main labs in AP is a gel electrophoresis lab to separate fragments of DNA. Today we discussed procedure and how to analyze a gel. Seniors were gone for about 45 minutes in the middle of the class to elect officers. Tomorrow the juniors are out and we will catch the seniors up. Tomorrow more analysis and mapping DNA.
In Selected Topics after checking our planaria and bean plants, we started our study of genetics. Mostly simple recessive and dominant traits. Our study of genetics will continue tomorrow with the Citibank Robbery problem and making pedigrees.
Tomorrow is a problem check day for Computer programming ... our first three advanced problems. Four more advanced problems and we move on to Microsoft qBASIC. Next problem, Karel Can Add.
Last weekend, two or our children were in. Rachel and Kyle were down from Champaign, IL. They arrived Friday night and stayed until after lunch on Sunday. John and Claire were in from Bowling Green. We had a lot of fun visiting ... took a walk and checked out the local planaria and fall wildflowers. We all ate too much! We celebrated Rachel and John's birthdays on Saturday night. It seems like only yesterday they were little. Also, Hannah called in on Sunday to check in. It was a good weekend.
