Today students took their DNA & Protein Synthesis test. Before the test students completed study stations to practice. Following the test we read an article: "What scientists mean when they say Race is not a Biological Trait."
Students who were absent can make up the test during lunch or Thursdays/Fridays after-school or during Flex.
Our next unit will be studying genetics. In addition to learning about punnet squares and the inheritance of traits, we will examine traits that have been perceived as binary traits that are now considered along a much greater continuum. Specifically, we will examine the traits of race, gender and autism.
