Being able to write curriculum period is exciting. The challenge has been where to place the science we have been doing this summer into the 7th and 8th grade curriculum.  What we came up with was that the Mite Science would fit well in covering Scientific Inquiry. Our students will be able to see that the same Scientific Method taught in the classroom is the same process we used this summer working with Dr. Fergus. Kayla and I will also be able to link our Genetics unit to the DNA sequencing we did in the lab. One thing we realized is that the science we are doing is “first time” science.  With that said, we will be able to expose our students to results that have not been presented.  Normally in science class we recreate labs that have been done before. The results are known.  This experience will allow our students to see what happens when scientists ask a question, run experiments and prove a hypothesis that has yet to be tested. Many times we do not get the opportunity to show kids this side of science.
