Bacteria have a few different shapes they are cocci (round-shaped), bacillus (oval-shaped) and spirochete (spirally). Viruses have a unique form as well; together we will discover the formation entitled bacteriophage. Along with form we will investigate the different forms that bacteria and viruses replicate. I woul like to touch upon the microbial genetics of translation, transduction and transcription. These processes are in depth analyses into how they grow in hot, cold and optimally reduced environments;and replicate.

Students will learn about to different circuits called parallel and series circuits. Parallel have two/ormany more circuit paths while a series circuit has only a single circuit path. Power and Resistance will be discussed with examples as well as some problems for the student to solve. Some diagram icons such as a battery or resistor and many more icons will be displayed on the chalk/white board; a few examples will be given then you will be given a chance to try to diagram a few given problems.

No previous experience required. The student will learn about numbers, colors, the alphabet, definite articles, vocabulary about family & school and practice using this learned knowledge in oral exercises. Also, we will be playing Spanish Bingo using Spanish words rather than numbers. The students will work in small groups to present a written piece orally to the class. We will also be completing written exercises that require you to use your creativity even before using your new knowledge of Spanish.

The student will learn how to cross male human genes with female human genes to predict the probable genetic makeup of their future children. The student will learn terms of genetic jargon. Students will be placed in small groups to answer real-life examples of genetic parental crosses. Each group will present their findings as a group. Each group should assign every member a task such as a scribe (writer), reader, presenter of material, etc. The class will be then divided into two large groups to play Genetics Jeopardy. There will different categories with increasing difficulty as points increase. The winning team will be asked to volunteer as individuals to present to the class some of the learning techniques they used to retain this material.

A brief history of Origami will be given on the subject of Origami. We will work with three specific categories of Origami: Regular Origami, Fashion Origami and Geogami. Generally speaking Origami uses one piece of origami paper for each piece of artwork. Fashion Origami again uses one piece of origami paper but this origami paper has patterns on both sides. Geogami usually uses between five to twelve pieces of origami paper to make geometric artwork pieces. There are many types of origami paper including but not limited to flourescent paper, patterned paper, foil-like paper and much more. All items made by students are for them to take home after class.
