In preparation for our study of science in the 7th grade, you are to read either of the following novels this summer:
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton
Jurassic Park is the story of genetic engineering gone tragically wrong. Find out what occurs when scientists forget some of the basic ideas of biology in their quest for fame and fortune.
The Andromeda Strain tells the story of a secret government decontamination facility designed to isolate and dispose of any dangerous materials that might come to EArth as the result of our explorations in space. Seewhat happens when a small desert town seems to be under biological attack from outer space.
The movies are quite different from the books, so do not try to take a shortcut for this assignment.
