DNA
You will be doing a DNA extraction while learning how to keep a proper scientific notebook. In you notebook you can only write in black ink and you can not erase or white out. If you make a mistake, you should strike out with a single line across the words you want to scratch off.
Assignment 1
Start on writing the procedures of the DNA extraction lab. This should be in your composition book. Write it out before you place it in the composition book because it will have to be done in black ink and written legibly.
When you have completed this, go to Schoology and write a 550 word essay on why the study of DNA is important in biotechnology. In this essay, you should include the basics of DNA. You need to have 3 reference site written in APA format. I would write it out first before uploading it in Schoology.

How to Build a Beating Heart
This video is a preview of why we are learning why biotech and the knowledge of DNA is so important
Assignment 2
You will be writing summary on the video and as part of your summary you should include how biotech plays a role in this type of field. You will be dong a 600 word essay and upload it to Schoology.
DNA Extraction Assignment 3
Now that you have researched and see a video on the importance of DNA and how a scientist or "biotechnician" would use it, it is time for you to apply your knowledge. We have done DNA extractions before so I want you to start with something you are familiar with. You will practice writing out your procedures and taking observations in your notebook. Be specific and very detailed remember your notebook is a legal document and can be called to question. What you are going to do is you will be doing a comparative study on DNA extraction. Use the strawberry extraction as the control because it is something we can use to compare since we have done it before. Now we will use other fruits to see what knowledge we can gain. The knowledge you want out of it will be determined by you.
You can work as a group but the observations are individual and your report will also be individual. I will have the letter head you will need to upload your report at a later time. I will also have the breakdown of everything you need for your report available to you soon. Both your report upload and your notebooks will need to be turned in. This of course will lead you to a higher lab. This report will be due on Tuesday 3/7/17
