Monica Schnautz and Shelia Morris, science teachers at NKHS, have incorporated authentic scientific inquiry opportunities for students in their classes. Ms. Schnautz recently shared the strawberry DNA extraction lab that her students performed, with outstanding results. Below is an image capture of one of Ms. Schnautz's students' DNA samples. The student was able to capture the image using a smartphone - a great application of mobile technology. Better yet, this is a fantastic DNA sample, with the double helix clearly visible in the slide! Great work!
Mrs. Morris' biology students recently complete a field work exercise on local waterways. Students learned to make field observations and collected samples for water quality testing. This was a fantastic opportunity for our students - thanks Mrs. Morris!
