In Biology, students from MHS have been learning about the cell cycle and its regulation. In alignment with our unit and in honor of Black History Month, students were asked to research Henrietta Lacks and create a poster, presentation, or infographic that detailed her life, the cells that were taken from her without her knowledge, the medical advancements that have been made because of the distribution of her cells, and rights to biological materials. Students did a fantastic job synthesizing information from multiple sources and developing presentations that expanded upon concepts we had learned in class. Thank you, Mrs. Cooper.
