Ninth grade honors biology students worked with DNA this week.
Ninth grade students Vanessa Gil and Tara Gengrich work on making a double helix DNA strand in Biology class. The students completed this lab after learning about it in class throughout the third marking period.

The group had to work together and concentrate in order to complete the task. Photo by Sarah Harmon.Mikayla Berger and Mckenna Betar put k’nex together to form a strand of DNA. The girls worked throughout the period to construct a full stand of DNA. Photo by Sarah HarmonMikayla Berger puts a flexible tube through the DNA to show how flexible the double helix is. Students worked together to complete the lab accurately. Photo by Sarah HarmonMckenna Betar works with her lab partners during a biology lab on Feb. 4. The class was discussing and learning about DNA for the past weeks.

The honors biology class does several labs in teams throughout the year. Photo by Sarah HarmonStudents attempt to put a flexible tube through a DNA strand during Biology class on Feb. 4. DNA and its structure was one of the topics the students learned about during the third marking period. Photo by Sarah Harmon
