January 27th - 30th

Math:  
Please monitor Power School as new grades were entered this week. Grade 9 students are continuing their lessons on solving equations (chapter 10). We had an assignment this week that needed to be handed in on Wednesday. The lessons on equations are becoming quite difficult and every student should make an effort to practice at home and do their homework.

Science:
Students had an interesting debate on whether we should allow unborn human babies to be genetically modified. This would change the human germ line as opposed to genetically modifying the somatic cells of a human after they are born. The follow up assignment is called: Designer Babies: Should we allow human genetic modification to unborn children. They are to pick one of the standpoints and make the best argument they can to support their view. This assignment should be in written format and is due: Monday, February 3rd, 2020. The assignment follows learning about genetics, adaptations, human reproduction, reproductive technologies, genetic engineering and watching a movie about genetically modified humans (Gattaca).
