Homework 11/10

6A had a lot of fun at Biogen today and we had the opportunity to use a lot of interesting equipment, such as micropipettes and a spectrophotometer.  We were also asked to put our math skills to work, graphing the relationship (function) between the amount of protein in a liquid and how much light passes through it (absorbance).  Everyone learned a lot about how medicines are designed and tested, and a lot of good questions were asked. 

No homework this weekend.  Enjoy the nice weather we are supposed to have!

Science Project Due Wednesday!

We had a wonderful time at Biogen with 6B.  We learned about cancer and how scientists conduct research as they search for that "miracle" drug.  We were asked to conduct an experiment to see whether it would be effective to take a certain drug (Oncomed) orally (through the mouth) to treat lung cancer.   I won't spoil the experiment for 6A by telling you the results, but I will say that we had a lot of fun and we got to use a lot of fancy equipment. 

Don't forget:  Science project (the Nerve Highway) is due Wednesday!!!
