It was really FUN... 2 girls earned 5.00 for being able to say, "deoxyribonucleic acid" correctly on demand, and to know it's function. :)
We had a day full of laughter talking about how the DNA is the encyclopedia of the cell which will later determine many things about us inherited from our parent's DNA. The girls were hilarious "guessing" what some of those things were. :)
Of course the funniest one was the suggestion that Sarah has a hyperactive uncle bouncing around Ukraine somewhere smiling at everybody. LOL (you would have had to have been there)
So, for our experiment: We made our own
Anna said there was something wrong with it's DNA. LOL

Did you get to eat the jello, y'all? (I cant even read that big word!)
Science was definitely NOT my homeschooling "thing" - I am perfectly happy to remain in ignorance of it all, simply declaring it to be "God's mystery!" So, I hired it out. My favorite project that Lydia did with her science teacher was hatching eggs - of course you get that joy all the time, I guess, but for me it was really huge. I got more out of it than Lydia did. Well - not the science part - but the "How Great is our God!" part!
My girls loved seeing these photos!! They sent your girls a message..it's on my blog tonight :)

Aaww..too bad they didn't like their hot wings!! Funny video though :) I guess the Frank in "Frank's Hot Sauce" shouldn't depend on your family to keep them in business!!! LOL!

I remember making these in 7th grade science! I promptly forgot about my project and left it in my locker for a week, until there were ants crawling all over my "DNA." The janitor was nonplussed.
We studied this last year at my school, we (me and my school buddies, oh! By the way, I'm in 8th grade now, age 13), We came up with "Lysol-Soap" for lysosomes... But! We now remember the funtion pretty well! lol
