be experiencing a mixture of warm and
cold temperatures mostly in the 40s. The
average for this week of the year is 48
degrees.
This week (week 14) students will be
completing their study on heredity and the
Punnett Squares. Students will be reading
about writing an essay on Genetically
Modified Organisms.
You should have received a letter about
pupilpath. If you didn’t, please email me at
the address below or call IS 93.
Please read every newsletter and feel free
to contact me at the email address below.
Fact of the week: Using relatively inexpensive materials, Daniel G.

Nocera created the world’s first practical artificial leaf. The selfcontained units mimic the process of photosynthesis, but the end
result is hydrogen instead of oxygen. The hydrogen can then be
captured into fuel cells and used for electricity, even in the most
remote locations on Earth.
