Today was the kind of day I pictured when I decided to homeschool - everyone excited to learn and creatively going about it. We're talking about genes and DNA this week and Mr. 8 remembered this DNA kit that Mr. 6 got last year for Christmas. We pulled it out and made a double helix (Mr. 8 is currently translating it into protein - he had to add a start codon). Mr. 6 and I then extracted his DNA from cheek cells and made DnA ink which he wrote his name with. There were also detective games and online pictures of different cells as well as the usual math and grammar. To top it off, Mr. 8 had the best piano lesson of the year. What a day!
