The Most Difficult Thing

     Now that we are done with the first semester, we will be starting some new things. Looking back at the first semester some thing have been challenging.I think the hardest thing from the first semester was learning about the parts of the cell. I think that this was hard for me because we had to memorize all of the parts of the cell, what it looks like and what it dose. What helped for me was looking over the study guides and studying for a long period of time. 
       In science we have also completed a lot of fun activities. One of my favorites that we did in class was building a model of DNA. We use something like Legos. We worked with a partner and we first made a model and then we took it a part to help us learn the process of the way DNA replicates. Since our class what not paying much attention we couldn't do the DNA  extraction lab. So  I did it at home for extra credit.We smushed up strawberries and we mixed it with  water and soap in a clear jar and then we poured rubbing alcohol on top strawberries and put it in the fridge. We then could see the DNA parts in that had separated from the rest of the strawberries on top in the rubbing alcohol.I had a lot of fun and it brought my grade up! I hope that this next semester will be successful.
