This week students completed the last section of DNA for the Genetics and DNA Unit. They are becoming more familiar with mutations or changes that occur in the DNA. To take this one step further, students are beginning the Genetics Project next week. I have uploaded the "Genetic Project Information Packet" along with a "Disorder Rubric" ( the rubric will be the same for all topics). Students made decisions today regarding their topics for the project (either a genetic disorder or an advance in genetic research). On Monday students will will gather their research materials and officially start their projects. Some students are working in a group of two while others are working independently. I went over today that we will be in the computer lab all next week, and have laptops the following week to complete the research for the project along with putting together their presentations. This should be a sufficient amount of time, though if individual students feel that they need more time, please know that I will be here each morning with available computers.
Please let me know if there are any concerns or questions at all. Have a great weekend!
