Last week was not a great week for me. I had science for only two days because I got really sick at the end of the week.. On Monday we did our meiosis review. I really missed Mrs. Giacomelli on Monday because I enjoy when she is there and I learn a lot. I learned during Monday's review that another word for "sex cells" is "gamete cells". We continued review on Tuesday with our protein synthesis worksheet. I learned how to decode mRNA codons. At first I thought it was difficult but after a lot of practice, I learned how to do it correctly and I improved on my knowledge of transcription and translation with practice. We also did a lab this week. We made a strip of DNA using twizzlers and marshmallows. I was absent for the rest of the week, but I know that the class reviewed for our test on Wednesday and Thursday in preparation for our test on Friday, which I missed.
I watched a protein synthesis animation video on you tube and that also helped me understand a little more. The link is below.

From the pictures in the dropbox it looks like science class was fun as usual and there was lots of learning going on. I have attached my favorite pictures and a picture of my week with my tissue box.
