 I'm working on a Biology themed lesson that includes a great Lab that was shared with me by another homeschooling Mom on Facebook. It's an experiment that actually extracts DNA from a banana! I always like to include a poem in a lesson plan but thought this might be a bit of a stretch, but I think I actually found a DNA- related poem!
Robert Frost (1874–1963) “Design” (1936) I found a dimpled spider, fat and white, On a white heal-all, holding up a moth Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth-- Assorted characters of death and blight Mixed ready to begin the morning right, Like the ingredients of a witches’ broth-- A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth, And dead wings carried like a paper kite. What had that flower to do with being white, The wayside blue and innocent heal-all? What brought the kindred spider to that height, Then steered the white moth thither in the night? What but design of darkness to appall?-- If design govern in a thing so small. As always, for homeschooling ideas go to Blossom Learning. Happy homeschooling!
