We finished up our discussion on swans. The facts that students found out about swans were terrific! We will come back to swans and other migratory birds in the spring. So....
Today students were introduced to the term alleles. We did a class survey on traits. Their homework is to conduct a family survey on traits. They must include at least 8 traits in their survey.

Swans and migration
We are taking a few days and doing some migration lessons. These are a bit sooner than I normally do this but it is because we have the opportunity to have a swan brought into school. So students watched a video on swans and swan protection today. Tomorrow a speaker will be at school and she will have a swan.
