In Mr.Kirste's class we learn about DNA,cells,animals. We also do dissections like frog dissections and cow eye dissection.
In my science class we did a cow eye dissection for extra credit. First we had to cut off all the fat from it. Then we had to cut the eye in half. Mr. Kirste made an incision then we cut. After that we got all the goo out of the eye. We also got the lens out of the eye. As soon that was done we got the retina off and the black part behind it. My partner did most of it because he said I did it to slow.
In science class, we had to do research about an animal. The animal my group did was a Linne's two toed sloth. Each student had to do research on a certain area. I got to do classification and general facts. When we are done taking notes we made a presentation. One person was the owner of the presentation while the other people did their slides on their area.
In my science class,we are learning about photosynthesis and cellular respiration.Another thing that we are doing in science class,is that we are learning the formulas for photosynthesis and cellular respiration.We have to make an advertisement a partner to "sell a chloroplast and a mitochondria."We had two days to work on it with our partner.We could make it into two different presentations or all in one.
Another thing we did in science class, is that we extracted the DNA out of a strawberry. First we mixed water,salt,soap, and enzyme.Then we mashed up strawberries in a plastic bag and put the mixture in the bag and mixed it. Then we put the mixture in a container but filter out the chunks of strawberries and after that we put rubbing alcohol. Then after a few minutes we saw the DNA come up to the top of the mixture.
