BIOLOGY II
Microbiology Science Curriculum Brief Overview
We will be performing a week-long project on discovering genes with BLAST in addition other science related projects, such as water quality testing, gene digestion, and learning lab techniques that most students will not otherwise learn until college. Science tools and t-shirts will also be handed out!
