7th grade students are currently learning about the structure of the DNA molecule and how that structure relates to the process of DNA replication. Students worked in pairs to construct models of the DNA molecule. Once all of the model segments were completed, the segments were all joined together to create a model of a DNA segment that was 88 base-pair segments long, and the model was twisted slightly to reflect the characteristic double-helix structure of the DNA molecule.

Since April of this year, a senior design team from the Colorado School of Mines has been working with Mr. Bryant on a project to modify a satellite to function as a laboratory instrument for use in the Middle School Science Classroom Last week, eleven RMAE 8th grade students attended the public debut of the device (called EduCan) at the Capstone Design@ Mines Event in Golden, Colorado. The RMAE students had the opportunity to meet with the members of the School of Mines Team, which included a former RMAE student, Mia Danato. The device had been adapted to measure velocity, acceleration, GPS location, temperature, etc. Most recently, it was used to track the motion of a bowling-ball pendulum in the Science room.

Important Announcement for Parents of Walkers
Unfortunately after years of allowing our students safe passage, per the director and Rabbi of Congregation Beth Evergreen students are no longer allowed on their property. Therefore students walking home or catching the bus will need to walk down the Royale Elk Way road to get to the bus stop or the walking path. For walkers, an alternative is to go up Royale Elk onto and down John Wallace Rd. For safety, please talk with your child about the importance of walking against traffic and on the side of the road.
