Genetics, SNAP and Karel

Today we started the second full week of school.  In Selected Topics in Science, we worked on Genetics ... Punnett Squares and the CitiBank Genetic Problem.  We have two long-term labs going on ... Regeneration Lab using Planaria and The Great Plant Growing Contest.  We start nearly every Monday with "5 of Everything".  Today was 5 trees you should know ... Tulip Poplars, White Oaks, Shagbark Hickory, Sugar Maples and Sassafras.
Tomorrow our study of genetics continues (sex-linked traits like red-green colorblindness) and ABO blood types. We have a separation science lab to do tomorrow ... The Waldo Lab (A forensics simulation using chromatography).

Pictures below are of our modeling lab last week.

In Computer Programming II we started programming our Snappy Bird project.  In Computer Programming I we are still working on Karel the Robot ... using if/then, if/then/else and while/do statements ... We are finishing our Grand Prix of Karel tournament tomorrow.  Good luck to all!
