Learning about D.N.A

Today we were learning about D.N.A it was fun for me and really interesting because they can make a clone of living things. Learning about D.N.A will help me when I go to college.

• The cell is so tiny you have to look at it through a microscope.
• There are billions and trillion cells
• D.N.A is found in chromosomes 
• Humans have twenty-three pairs of chromosomes
• And all chromosomes have different information
• D.N.A is made of four different bases
• D.N.A is inside chromosomes
• And chromosomes in the nucleus
• The different bases are connected together to form the ladder
• A and T  go together
• C and G go together
• G and C go together
• When five Genes go together have thousands of bases
• Gene is a sequence of D.N.A
• When 3 groups comes together their called a word 
• And when more than 3 is a chapter
• GENE=CHAPTER
• CHROMOSOMES = BOOK
• Groups of genes make up chromosomes
• Bascs = A,T,C,G
• codons= words
• genes=chapters
• Chromosomes = book

Last week on friday we got to go on a trip to the museum we went to 4 different levels and we even got to go to the winter gardens. we first went to the winter gardens the winter gardens were really facinating because their were lots of different interesting flowers and plants there ive never seen before, my favourit plant was the tropical pitcher plant because it was like a venus fly trap and another thing I liked about the pitcher plant was it was a bit scary to be around and I was scared to touch it.

Science experiment onion cell

Aim: today in room 4,We are trying to look at some onion cells through the microscope.

Hypothesis

Which magnification will you see the onion cell properly

Predict: I think  it might be easy to see in 100

 x to see better 

Equipment:

• Microscope
• Onion
• Blue DIY
• Slide
• Tweezer

We use the tweezers  to peel a thin layer of onion.

We place the online lauder on the slide and  add a tiny bit of methylene blue also using saline 
to make it flat to add our coverslip on the top 

Magnification:                                  

1. 
   
2. 10
3. 40
4. 100

Conclusion 

When we finished making our slide we took a look through the microscope and we saw
tiny and big dots spread around and it also looked like bubbles. After that we did the
100x which is a closer and what we saw was big  tiny bubbles.
