The Timber Frame STEAM class spent some time Friday scoping out their work for the installation of the newest Wayland-Cohocton designed and built pavilion. This one will be erected on Monday on Main Street in the Village of Wayland. The original installation date was to be Tuesday, May 21st but due to weather concerns, the group will work on Monday, May 20th. The most exciting work, according to teacher Rob Hughes, will occur in the morning as large beams are hoisted into place with the boom truck and the structure begins to take shape. Stop down and see the kids at work. The class asks that observers stay outside of the work area for safety reasons, but are welcome to bring a chair and watch as the class works.

Students in Mrs. Curtin’s ACE Biology Lab stayed after school to complete a pretty extraordinary lab. The students transformed bacteria. A gene that glows under a black light was taken from a jellyfish. The bacteria E. coli was put through a series of different conditions, hot, cold, warm, calcium chloride wash, to insert the gene into the bacteria. The bacteria were plated on a petri dish and allowed to grow overnight. The next day the students looked at them under the black light to see if the transformation was successful. In the pictures of students are of them practicing their micropipetting. A micropipette can measure in volumes of a thousandth of a milliliter. The class practiced with the micropipettes first to be sure the students know how to use them correctly in order to get the exact amount necessary for a successful experiment.
Don't forget Family Swim is on Friday!
