Agenda Monday February 12, 2018-Friday February 16, 2018

NGSS Standards:

MS-LS1-5.	Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.

MS-LS3-1.	Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism.

MS-LS3-2.	Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.

Monday February 12, 2018 and Tuesday February 13, 2018

Percy Lavon Julian 1899-1975

Was an African American research chemist and a pioneer in the chemical synthesis of medicinal drugs from plants.  His work laid the foundation for the steroid drug industry's production of cortisone, other corticosteroids, and birth control pills.  Julian received more than 130 chemical patents. He was one of the first African Americans to receive a doctorate in chemistry. He was the first African-American chemist inducted into the National Academy of Sciences, and the second African-American scientist inducted (behind David Blackwell) from any field.
