Biology With Bunnies
In Morgan G.'s 11th grade Biology class, students investigated the phenomena of natural selection in their "Breeding Bunnies" Lab. They used different colored beans to represent dominant and recessive alleles; observed the differential survival of hairless rabbits (a real mutation that occurs!); and analyzed their data to determine whether evolution was occurring in the rabbit population.
Attention Comrades
Nathan B. (HS English) announced that Modern World Literature's annual 1984 simulation has begun. Thus unsuspecting visitors may hear 10th graders call one another "comrade" or declare their readiness to learn with unnerving enthusiasm. First published in 1949, Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell serves as a cautionary tale against totalitarianism and its many insidious forms.
