At the beginning of the semester Mr. Robbins and Ms. Stewart started to teach about DNA.Your DNA is passed to you from your parents to their parents. The DNA type that is passed to you from your parents shows what your body kind is or like what type of alle you have.

Mr. Robbins and Ms. Stewart tried to make it more fun so they told us that we will make a 2nd generation dragon, including a punnett square for the dragon’s DNA type. Students choose the DNA for their dragon's body--how it looks, if it has wings, breathes fire, the color of its skin and eyes, and if it will have spikes or horns.

Everyone made their dragon and wrote what their dragon looked like. Then, our teachers announced we had to make a 3rd generation dragon because our dragon got married to another dragon and had a baby. We had to create another punnett square to see what our 3rd generation dragon looked like.

Everybody did that and at the end we had to explain if our 2nd generation dragon (our dragon) and 3rd generation dragon (our dragon’s baby) survived or not from trolls that were looking for dragons to kill.

It turned out that fire-breathing dragons could survive trolls, but the other dragons died at the hands of trolls.

It was a fun way to learn about DNA.
