The scientists in Mrs. Carr’s Biology class have been working so hard reviewing for their upcoming Punnett square test and practicing for the state test! Today, they put their genetics knowledge to the test in groups—the more questions they got right, the higher their chances to win. Safe to say, when it comes to understanding genetics, these kids got it in the bag! 🍬👻 Winners: Zoey Clark, Daniah Herron, Madalyn Wright, Brayanah Rosenbaum, Xiyah Martin, Kamijah Saulsberry, Kylie Mays, Deundrez Eason, & Marquiez Goodman
