Linkage problems and moving to Earth Science ...

In Genetics today, we finished our Logal simulation lab (picts below).  Also, we went over the Chapter 4 discussion question, mostly Mendelian genetics and demonstrated a linkage problem / sex-linked trait.  Tomorrow more linkage problems and discussion questions from Chapter 5.

Logal (old version, mystery individuals) showing the pedigree symbol simulation.

Josh leads a merger group ... finishing up the Logal Lab.

In Selected Topics, we reviewed for our Genetics / Evolution test tomorrow.  We will also start our weather unit.

We finished up checking our first six qBASIC problems today in computer programming ... most students still working on their country and capitals program for a fifth grade class.

Mowed some when I got home and took a walk to Long Creek and back ... fall flowers are at peak bloom ... it was beautiful ... big patches of yellows, blues, purples and white.

Next week is a testing week (PLAN test) so we will be missing first block, Genetics three days.
