Abraham Lincoln

Tuesday, February 12th is Abraham Lincoln's birthday.  He was a President with an incredible amount of courage and integrity.  He didn't care about pleasing men, but about pleasing God.  He fought against slavery and helped lead the North to victory in the Civil War.  Students, I encourage you to check out this interactive website about him. Click here to learn more about President Lincoln!

Punnett Squares

Here is some fantastic work from two of my students.  We are learning all about genetics in Life Science.  The assignment was to make a Punnett Square to determine the probability that the offspring of two parents would inherit a certain trait.

Mikala crossed a black pegasus with a white pegasus.  The white fur trait is dominant here. The white pegasus (mother) is heterozygous and the black pegasus (father) is homozygous recessive.  The probability of having a white pegasus offspring is 50%, and a black pegasus offspring is 50%.  Great job, Mikala!

Joey decided to crossbreed Joeys!  He crossed a homozygous long-tailed Joey with a heterozygous long-tailed Joey and determined that 100% of the offspring would be long-tailed, but 50% of the offspring would be homozygous and 50% would be heterozygous! Great job, Joey!

Today we saw our own DNA in an experiment using salt water, dish soap, rubbing alcohol, and food coloring.

That strand below the straw is Joey's DNA!
