🧬🍬 Sweet Science in Biology! 🍬🧬
Our Biology students kicked off their DNA unit with a hands-on (and delicious-looking!) activity! Using gummy bears and licorice, students built their own DNA models to explore the structure of the molecule that carries the instructions for life.
Students discovered how nitrogenous bases pair together to form the rungs of the DNA ladder, while the sugar-phosphate backbone forms its sides. They even explored how DNA twists into its famous double-helix shape!
Welcome back from Fall Break! Here is our Newsletter for the week!

Today, our Pearsall High School Cheer Team are wearing red for World Dyslexia Day! 📣❤️
Did you know that dyslexia affects 1 in 5 people? It has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence, but everything to do with how the brain processes language.

To everyone who learns differently: you are strong, you are capable, and we are cheering you on today and every day! 🎉🙌
