First we came into class and went over the rules for the activity. The rules are, table A can not talk, table B can not try to decoded and table C can not allow the answers to leave the table. We did this experiment to transfer and decode a message from one group through one to a third group. The group that began with the message could not move or talk. They then gave the message to the travelers that brought that to the group with the decode paper then the decoded message through to the second group that could talk who then read the message. This is similar to how the parts of a cell work together. We then discussed how table A was like a nucleus because they had the message. The message represented DNA because it comes from the nucleus. The purpose of the rules are to show how things can pass through the nuclear membrane but only as certain forms. After these questions we began to take notes but will continue tomorrow.
