Science
In this class we learn about how life works . From life cycles to genetics we learn the basics of life . We also do many fun experiments and activities that help us understand .
My Chloroplast and Mitochondria Commercial
In science we made a commercial for two different organelles ,the chloroplast and the mitochondria .The chloroplast is the organelle the produces energy for plants . The chloroplast uses sun light , water(H2O) ,and carbon dioxide(CO2) to make glucose (C2H12O6) and oxygen(O2) . The mitochondria ,on the other hand, makes energy for animals using oxygen and glucose to make ATP and carbon dioxide .It was very fun .

Strawberry DNA
This is one of the coolest experiments I have ever done . First we put a frozen strawberry in a bag and smashed it until it turned to goo .Then we put into a clear glass and mixed it with a solution of dish soup , salt, and enzymes . After that we added rubbing alcohol and the strawberrys DNA rose to the surface .In the picture to the right you can see the white/pink cloud of DNA .
