In Genetics and Selected Topics, both classes did a microscope lab and a version of the mitosis lab using onion root tip slides. Students counted the number of cells in each phase of mitosis, generating classroom data. Even in the apical meristem of the onion root tip, most cells were in interphase. Each class did a couple of other activities in this lab ... finding the image and viewing at 400X was a challenge for many students. Tomorrow we will complete this lab. Genetics has some discussion questions to prepare.
In Computer Programming we worked on the Karel Cliff Climber program ... which uses some tricky logic. About half the students are finished with this program. Tomorrow we have our Grand Prix competition ... will take a pict or two.
Our softball team is being honored by the Hot Rods tomorrow. Players attending need to be at the Will Call window before 6:00. We go on the field at 6:15 and the game starts at 7:05 vs the Lansing Lugnuts.
Worked at the house tonight in preparation for Rachel, Kyle, John and Claire's arrival.
