In Genetics today we continued our regeneration lab using planaria. Looked at the Newmark Lab (University of Illinois) online today. We will visit a lab a day this week. We reviewed cell science and handed out our Human Genetics book (Ricki Lewis). Tomorrow is Crick's Central Dogma - Replication, Transcription and Translation.

We started our Great Plant Growing Contest in Selected Topics today. We also worked on cell science in this class. Tomorrow will biochemistry review, cell science and some biochem poker.
We finished checking the Take Out the Trash and Pick the Corn programs in Computer Programming. Students worked on their Grand Prix solution and we did a demo on the if-then-else decision statement.
After school, I worked on our 2012 Softball Schedule then headed home.
I have been keeping some of our plants alive by watering around the house. I have some pumpkins, gourds and squash. The bees arrive early in the morning to get a little pollen and nectar to take back to the hive. This honey bee below was so covered with pollen, it was yellow and could hardly fly. After shaking off some of the pollen it took off for home. The second picture is a honeybee in search of pollen and nectar.
