PROFESSOR ANGEL CARRACEDO

A few weeks ago we had the great honour of receiving a visit from Professor Ángel Carracedo.
First he met with teachers and students in the gym, where he answered questions and concerns on a variety of topics related to science.
When we were done with the questions, he made the experiment of DNA extraction from peas. First we got the pea juice, then added dishwasher liquid, pineapple juice and alcohol. The stringy stuff that looks like snot is DNA.
It was super brilliant and we can do this again in our science class!
Once again, thank you Professor for your visit!

Q-TIP SKELETONS

After finishing the unit on the skeletal system, we made a skeleton out of Q-tips. The materials needed are as follows: q-tips, black paper, glue, scissors, googly eyes and a silver ink pen. Here are some photographs of the crafts that we made.
