Seventh graders recently took a field trip to the world-renowned Cold Spring Harbor Lab, in Laurel Hollow, New York. Mr. Larrowe P’30, P’32, 7th Grade Science Teacher, and Mr. De Los Santos, 7th Grade Math/Science Bridge Teacher, organized the trip, which was designed to enhance students’ understanding of Mendelian genetics, the pattern of inheritance encoded by DNA.
