We started class today by making holiday cards for Gary. Thank you to everyone who participated! I don't think we often appreciate how much our community means to Gary and how much he means to us. Hopefully our cards will bring him smile over the December break.
In all classes except third I gave you a pre-test on the concepts of gene expression. This did not count, but served as a gauge for how much students remember from their Biology class. Based on what you learned by taking the pre-test I asked students to look back over 17.1 and 17.2 to make sure you had a general understanding of how DNA is used to make protein.
Third period was able to begin a discussion of the one-gene-one-protein hypothesis by examining Beadle and Tatum's experiment with Neurospora. Other classes will begin this on Monday.
Have a great weekend! Good luck to football at State! And if you are in the school performance of Sight Unseen "break a leg!"
