Scholars!!!

The end of the 2nd six weeks is here. Can you believe it? Only 6 more weeks left and your done with Biology (given we all pass the EOC, which I have faith we will) For this weeks blog go to the following website and read the story. Instead of answering the questions at the bottom of the page. I want you to practice your 3 levels of questioning (just like in your AA). Come up with a Level 1, 2, and 3 Question and Post em.

Week 11 Discussion: Who Dun It?

Hey Scholars!!!

This week is our CSI week of Genetics. We are talking about bloodtyping and DNA Fingerprinting. For this weeks post you can either research and find out what bloodtype you are (hint: look at your birth cert.) or you can find a news article where DNA FingerPrinting helped solve a criminal case.

Good Luck Detectives

Sincerely,

Mr. D
