Our 7th and 8th grade life science students are challenged weekly in Mrs. Paquin’s classroom. Cancer Case Study presentations of research-based diagnosis and treatments are bringing an end to the study on cell reproduction and mitosis. The students had a blast and did a tremendous job exploring the current research available to them. The main reason behind this activity was to teach students how to conduct web-based research, find peer reviewed sources, and use trusted URLs. They have learned to properly cite all their sources.
