  Bean Game 1.) What did you learn this week? I leaned a lot more about mutations and the harm that surrounds them along with the good parts  Some mutations talked about are insertion, deletion, and substitution. . We played a bean game with our table groups and got to learn more about predators and prey. Overall a fun day in class. 2.) Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? I don't remember a whole lot about the mutation subjects like the ones learned from class today. Its been a while so relearning some of the subjects and having activities to go along was a nice refresher for things for the future. 3.)  How can you apply what you've learned to your teaching in the future? I think this would be some fun class activities to turn a subject that may be uninteresting to some, and make it fun and exciting. I plan on taking the topic points and the bean game to my future class one day so they can learn more and be able to un...

Absent From Class This Week

Plant Update Candy DNA Model Baby Lab 1.) What did you learn this week? This week we spent some time diving more into genetics and what we are made of. We talked about how we get certain traits, and the genes that we have now. We used candy to do see it more interactively. We looked at our plants, and at the end of class we took time to create a child with a flip of a coin. Deciding what traits the baby will have with dominant and recessive genes. 2.) Are you able to relate what you know to what you already knew? I remember doing activities like the ones done in class that help you see how things are decided by building your own. Like when we did the baby activity today. I can relate back to it because its like it opened a memory I haven't seen or thought about in a long time. I remember how to know when certain traits take over, so it was a nice refresher. 3.) How can you apply what you've learned to your teaching in the future?  I think taking the time to create activit...
