Daily Science Fact
You may have heard about the practice of taking iodine pills during the threat of a nuclear attack. When a nuclear bomb explodes, one substance it forms is radioactive iodine. If you eat, drink or inhale this isotope, your thyroid gland will concentrate it and this can lead to thyroid damage or cancer. By taking an iodine pill, you saturate the thyroid gland with iodine and prevent it from absorbing the radioactive iodine.
- We went over the Design Yer Genes packet questions.
- We took Cornell notes on p. 91-95. (The DNA Connection).
What was collected?
- DNA model and Design Yer Genes packet (only if completed early).
What was assigned?
- Completion of the Cornell notes.
- DNA model if not finished.
