I have been somewhat neglectfull in my blogging. Despite this some of my classes have had such a great time lately. Others, unfortunately have had exams. Few view this as enjoyable.
but I am back. I just hope someone out there is looking at this and appreciating their own child and the learning that they are participating in.
Today in 9th grade anatomy we used the beautiful black table tops to create cells and with beads, tape and string. Modeled the process of Mitosis.
Mitosis, for those of you who do not know is the process of cell division. It is not a simply process that only involves splitting a cell into two. It is very precise. You have in each cell 46 chromosomes made from thousands of genes which in turn are made from thousands upon thousands of nucleotide sequences. Each sequence is a code for a protein in your body. One mistake in copying it and or splitting it results in some pretty bad mutations.
so..the process is pretty complicated
Pictures for your enjoyment.....
