Science

We are learning about cell division and how it is responsible for growth. Students will also learn about how organisms pass their genetic information onto their offspring during asexual and sexual reproduction. They will study the process of crossing over and learn how that results in genetic recombination of the parental DNA in the offspring.
The students will begin with a reading and then participate in an activity where they will model and compare mitosis and meiosis.
English
