Red Ribbon Week's final theme of the week is Friday Griffin Pride – “Take pride in your decisions!” #redribbonweek
On October 23rd, thirty-seven LWE students had the incredible opportunity to attend the Learning Lab "Virus Variant Detectives" at Argonne National Laboratory. This hands-on experience provided students with a deep dive into the world of biotechnology, focusing on the fundamentals of gel electrophoresis and genetic analysis.
During the lab, students learned how scientists detect and monitor virus mutations, with a specific focus on COVID-19. They gained practical experience with gel electrophoresis, a procedure used to separate and analyze genetic material. This experience allowed students to directly engage with real-world scientific methods, enhancing their understanding of biotechnology and its impact.
In addition to the technical skills they developed, students also sharpened their critical thinking abilities by analyzing COVID-19 RNA sequences. This exercise encouraged them to evaluate data and form scientific hypotheses, simulating the role of researchers in the field.
Special thanks to our dedicated LWE science teachers: Scott Fletcher, David Mulconrey, and Shane Tucker, who accompanied and supported the students on this educational experience.
Mr. Russler's World History classes presented Greek gods and goddesses today. Some of the students came dressed to present!
