June 19

"DNA, Inheritance, and the Struggle for Survival" was the title of the presentation given this morning by Adam de Groff, one of the grad students. The material was very interesting and very well presented. Better morning because I have better background information in this area. Good explanation of the polarity of molecules. Much more detail on the terms hydrophilic and hydrophobic. RNA, DNA, and cell differentiation which is tying in with some of the previous mornings info. Felt much better about what was covered this morning.

In the afternoon we got into the Wiki a bit. Some of the teachers at my school are starting to do things with Wikis, I can definitely see some possibilities. Also got some good ideas from the group work for both teaching possibilities and supply resources.
