Genomics stage 1 completion

We have now completed Stage 1 of ur Genomics learning. Learning about cells is really interesting for all of us. The process of learning is multimodal. We have learnt from reading, viewing videos, looking at images and also each other.

Mrs Tofa created a test to test our knowledge about cells. The test was on a Google Form which marks the test for you at the end. There are 3 people who got full marks for the test with the rest getting scored between 12-19. Room for more revision Mrs Tofa said.

Here is the test. Give it a go if you would like.
