Week Number Six

Biology this week has interesting. (It is spirit week! And that's probably as excited as I'm going to get on the whole thing.) We did a lab on natural selection where different shaped beaks are tested to see which was most effective. We found that spoons are more effective in moving beans from one place to another than tweezers, clothespins, popsicle sticks, and forks. We didn't have class on Thursday because of the PLAN ACT testing even thought we were just filling out informational papers. On Friday, we took a vocabulary test that wasn’t too difficult.
 
Our film group has been working quite a bit. We have started our script, divided jobs, and have a basic concept written down. I believe you would call it a work of science fiction with (hopefully) some major plot twists and a very dramatic ending. I have already finished my research paper for next Monday and I ended up talking about cloning, nanobiotechnology, and stem cells as my fields of biotechnology. We also started talking about our independent experiment projects and I still have no idea what I want to do with it. In the past, every time we've been assigned science fair projects I resulted in conducting my experiment on something related to radios, light, rocks, and minerals. I don’t know what I’ll do this time.
