Wyoming Area Catholic students complete study on DNA

The seventh grade life science students of Wyoming Area Catholic Junior High completed an in-depth study of DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, including its history, its composition, and how it replicates itself. After studying its chemical composition, students worked in pairs to construct a DNA molecule. Students used a variety of materials to illustrate the various chemical compounds. They also completed a written report describing DNA in detail. Pictured are the 7th grade life science students.
