Embarrassing Moments in the Classroom: In the Moment
by Hope Brooks
It's the first day of school. You walk into your new class and all of the sudden your legs, for some reason, keep crossing over each other and before you realize it you are on the floor, in front of everyone, as they laugh at your clumsiness. Embarrassing, right? Read more.
*Periodically a student from the Empescope class will write a feature article for The Bulldog Beat.

Ever Looked Up Close at DNA?
That's what Mrs. Dews' 9th & 10th graders did!
Click on the Image for the Video!
Many types of strawberries are octoploid, meaning eight sets of chromosomes- so they hold a lot more DNA than our cells (which hold two-diploid). Check it out!!

Biology Students Examine DNA
Mrs. McIntosh's biology classes spent the past week becoming familiar with DNA. First, they modeled the structure of DNA using candy which required them to demonstrate their understanding of the base pairing rules.
Next, they went through the process of extracting DNA from banana cells with a simple technique that allowed them to see the DNA without a microscope.
