Hello Juniors!

We are starting a whole new topic on Monday, December 7th. The topic is BIOTECHNOLOGY or some people like to talk about GENETIC ENGINEERING. It can be found in Ch. 5 "Clegg" and on p.30-33 'Skinny" book. We are going to study this in GROUPS. Your group will choose one of the 5 main topics I will show you in class, you will then present and teach it to the rest of the class, write a quiz on it and grade those. We will spend the rest of this semester on Biotech.
We will do a LAB on Bacterial Transformation sometime in December.

Hello Freshmen!
We started a new topic on DNA this week. DNA, RNA and Protein synthesis can be found in Ch. 10-14 in your book. We will spend the rest of the semester on this topic.

See you all in class! Mrs. Kehoe
