Students will analyze the results of another scientist’s experiment by examiningleaves that have been exposed to different treatments, and draw conclusions aboutthe process of photosynthesis.
Students assemble a DNA molecule, using magnetic pieces representing sugar,phosphate and the nitrogenous bases on magnetic whiteboards. Students thenmodel the process of semi-conservative DNA replication
Bamboo shares many similarities with wood in their appearance (brown andfibrous) and usage (furniture, flooring etc). Bamboo strips will be studied byfloating and sinking tests
Students will engage in an exploration demonstrating the Octet rule and chemical bonding using paper models of elements forming covalent and ionic compounds.
Students will extract DNA from their own cheek cells.
