In the seventh-grade Life Science classes, students explored the amazing intricacies of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Throughout the unit, students built their own DNA models to explain the complex structure and properties of DNA before extracting actual DNA from organisms!

The Jumbo Plant Cell Installation at the Swain Campus

By Jennifer Mitchell

The Swain Campus sixth-grade science classes spent the second trimester researching and making jumbo replicas of plant cell organelles to create a cell installation in the science room. Once the plant cell installation was complete, students and faculty from all grades were invited to move through the cell member and enter for an immersive plant cell experience and student-led tour.
