ABOUT THE SOUND PICTURE

With mouth wide open, vibrating air coming up the throat from the vocal chords leaving the open mouth and spreading in all directions. Hi, I am Janice VanCleave, author of 50+ best-selling science experiment books for children ages 4 through high school. I taught science for 27 years and now am creating this science website.   My scream was not staged. The picture was to be of two adult cats, which I was holding. A microsecond before the camera snapped, the two cats dug their claws into my skin as they prepared to leap out of my arms. A picture like this is great for making inferences. Kids could make "guesses" as to why I am screaming. They would be drawing on facts from the photo, such as I look like I am in pain or maybe I am just pretending.

Cloning: Dolly

By

Why was the cloned sheep called Dolly named after the Country Western Singer, Dolly Parton?

The cells used to clone Dolly came from the breasts of Dolly’s mother. Dolly Parton is known for her large breast, so the scientists named the cloned sheep Dolly.

More Information about Dolly

Dolly was born July 5, 1996 at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. Her birth was not announced to the world until early 1997.

Cloning animals is not easy and the success rate is very low. There were 276 unsuccessful attempts before Dolly was not an easy process. It took 276 tries before Dolly was cloned.
