News From AP Biology: Gel Electrophoresis Murder Mystery Lab & Micropipette Art
Ms. Punt’s AP Biology class had some fun after the exam by finishing up the semester with solving a 90's inspired murder case with gel electrophoresis. Before we conducted the experiment, students also practiced their micropipette skills needed for the lab with some food dye and art. ... On another note, if you have a student in AP Bio, ask them what they did for their choice of the Roly Poly Behavior Lab! Many students came up with some great ideas to test their isopods' preferences.

Huntington's Awareness Month
The month of May is very busy for all of us but did you know that it's also Huntington's Awareness month? Marty Larson visited many High School science classes on Friday, May 8, to present information related to Huntington's Disease. Many of our students have expressed an interest in pursuing further education in the area of medicine and the discussions were very lively. We talked about the many decisions that people with this genetic disposition must make - including diagnosis, treatment, and family planning. We will definitely ask Mrs. Larson to come back again next May!
