Burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which makes the earth warmer. Burning fossil fuels, transportation, and […]
Modeling Mitosis
Interphase: It is the longest cell cycle stage, it is when the cell performs its normal functions and grows. Stages of Mitosis: Mitosis is when the nucleus contents duplicates and divides into two new, equal parts. Early Prophase – The nucleolus disappears and spindle fibres begin to form Late Prophase – spindle fibres attach to centromeres of chromosomes Metaphase […]
Edible DNA
1.What is DNA? You may have brown hair or the same eye colour like your parents, that’s because traits such as hair or eye colour that gets passed down from parent to child happens through DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA are a set of instructions how cells function, produce and when they will die. 2. What […]
Element Sway/Information Fluency
Part 2: 1.What questions did you need to research in order to create your sway? Some questions I asked are broad questions such as: “How was polonium discovered”, “Fact’s about polonium” but I took these broad questions and was able to break them down into simpler more detailed questions such as “when was and who […]
