1. Students will find related science information in the newspaper, news, or science channels. They will be given a list of upcoming topics which we will be studying throughout the year and they will be required to find information about one of the listed topics each week. Students will record findings in their science journals. Each Friday, there will be time set aside that they will share their findings with the class. If there are any pictures they find, they will bring them in to put on a bulletin board and share with the class.
2. Students will make DNA strands with gum-drops and toothpicks. They will label each part of the molecule. These will be hung throughout the classroom.
