7TH GRADE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN CRAZY TRAITS LAB

In 7th grade Science, students are learning about Genetics and the passing of traits from parents to offspring.


Students participated in a Crazy Traits lab, where they created an organism. Students then flipped a coin to figure out the random genotype and phenotype of each individual trait.


Afterward they built their new organism and compared and contrast the differences between other classmates!

The afternoon before the English DBA, Ms. Cox was monitoring Algebra Credit Recovery in Mrs. Beltran's room for 2 hours right after school. Kayla volunteered to set up Ms. Cox's room for the next day's DBA test by moving all the student desks into testing configuration. Kayla did a fantastic job of spacing out the chairs exactly how they needed to be for testing.
