We had Friday breakfast in first block Genetics today. Lots of good cooks and mothers that can cook. I brought my nearly famous "Barnyard" ... everything in the barnyard you can find fried up. Today's version was a layer of fried potatoes and onion, a layer of scrambled eggs, a layer of fired chicken and sausage, a layer of cheese (four types) and finally many strips of bacon on top. Once breakfast was over ... we worked on the our population genetics lab and the assigned Hardy-Weinberg problems. The inquiry part of the lab and Chapter 14 discussion questions are on tap for Monday.
We did a simulation lab of projectile motion in Selected Topics using Phet online software in preparation for our catapult lab next week. We collected and graphed data from running these simulations.

In computer programming, we are starting to wrap up the Ol' McDonald farm scene with animation. I will take some pictures of student's efforts and post them next week.
Above, the bumblebees are not moving very fast by still working the wildflowers. I have a hard time identifying the type of bumblebees in this area but, found a good source of information today on the Kentucky Native Plant Society ... Some great information on bumblebees and other pollinators ... link is below ...
