How do cells multiply?

  Sexual and Asexual Reproduction Reproduction: is a process to make more organisms like themselves.   Asexual Reproduction it only needs one organism and results in offspring that are genetically identical example: bacteria; splits into two called Binary Fission hydra can reproduce by Budding; they bud an identical offspring right off of themselves, it falls […]

Adaptive Tech Artifacts of Learning

  On September 24th 2019 our science class had a Skype chat with Tim Mepham and his daughter Nicola Lodge. We also learned about some of the difficulties he has with movement, dexterity, and communication because of a disease called Huntington’s Disease. Our goal for this project is to somehow make his daily life easier […]

Modelling Mitosis

  Early Interphase   Interphase is the longest stage in the cell cycle. This is a time when a cell carries out its various functions within the organism. Growth and preparation During the first phase of interphase, a cell expands in size and makes the proteins and molecules necessary for the cell to function. Some […]

Edible DNA Model

DNA is in short for deoxyribonucleic acid, it is the molecule that contains the genetic code of organisms.  Part of an organism’s DNA is “non-coding DNA” sequences. They do not code for protein sequences. Some noncoding DNA is transcribed into non-coding RNA molecules, such as transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, and regulatory RNAs. DNA is an extremely long macromolecule that […]

Adaptive Tech Proposal

Our class had a chance to call (again) Tim Mepham and her daughter Nicola who’s assisting him, they are staying at a place called Nicola lodge (nursing home in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia) Tim has Huntington’s disease which is an inherited disorder that results in the death of brain cells. We contacted them to ask […]

Explore the field

Our essential question is: “How can we make an art related product for Tim Mepham to help him get back on doing art?”  This will be helpful for me and my group because it will help us understand the situation and specially his condition much better to come up with more creative ideas. First i’d […]

Currents from the kitchen (prediction)

prediction: based on my research, some fruits and vegetables can conduct electricity, often providing a current that’s strong enough to act as a battery. Foods that produce electricity are usually high in acidity or potassium. Acids make ions, charged particles when placed in a solution like, water, which many types of fruits and vegetables contain […]
