Monday, April 14th, the 8th grade class ventured to DeMatha High School where they participated in a DNA extracting lab. They scrapped, lysed, and extracted the DNA from their cheek cells. It was very exciting! April 15th, the 7th and 8th grade students participated in an EGGellent experiment: the St. Ann’s Egg Drop. They created a support system with certain constraints; the goal being to protect the uncooked egg.
