Lab Week Fifteen

Focus Questions: 

The three questions I have chosen to focus on from this week's lab were; What did you learn this week? Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? and What are new or remaining questions? 

1. What did you learn this week? 

This week I didn't really learn much. I did most of this stuff in highschool so I already knew what was going on. I did enjoy the film canister activity though. It was fun guessing what it was. 

2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? 

I already knew about the marshmallow experiment. Did this in highschool. It is fun to mess with it and see the marshmallow grow and shrink. 

3. What are new or remaining questions? 

Why does the marshmallow grow? I forgot why it happens.

    Hi! I also was confused on the explanation behind why the marshmallow grew. I also enjoyed the object matching activity!

Week 6

   Lab Week Six Focus Questions:  The three questions I have chosen to focus on from this week's lab were; What did you learn this week? Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? and What are new or remaining questions?  1. What did you learn this week?  This week I learned more about turtles and what happens after they hatch or not even hatch and what happens to them. I learned that turtles follow the moonlight after they hatch. I also learned that other lights can deter turtles from making it to the ocean because they can get confused.  2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew?  In my 5th grade class, we did this same exact lesson, we grew the same plants and then pollinated them with dead bees. I learned more about the cycle of the plant now than I did in 5th grade.  3. What are new or remaining questions?  Why do turtles follow the light to the ocean??

week 8

  Lab Week Eight Focus Questions:  The three questions I have chosen to focus on from this week's lab were; What did you learn this week? Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? and What are new or remaining questions?  1. What did you learn this week?  I learned about the pairing in genes and about how you can tell if there is a alter in it just by one letter.  2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew?  I have already learned about the letter pairing in genes, I learned about it in my high school years. I learned more about those things in this week's lab.  3. What are new or remaining questions?  I wonder which set of genes were altered in my DNA that created a birth defect in me.

Week 7

    Lab Week Seven Focus Questions:  The three questions I have chosen to focus on from this week's lab were; What did you learn this week? Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? and What are new or remaining questions?  1. What did you learn this week?  This week I missed lab because I was ill but I was able to retrieve this week's lab slides. Since I can only go off what I retrieved I learned about how DNA goes into protein from the video we watched. I also learned about what goes into DNA, protein, and the process.  2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew?  In high school, we did the baby experiment where we flipped a coin to determine what the baby would look like so I am well versed on that. I think it is a good experiment for middle-aged kids because it helps them understand the idea of how genetics works.  3. What are new or remaining questions?  A question I have would have to be ...
