Simulated Genetic Counseling Session
Students, in groups, prepare a family history for a family with a genetic condition. They simulate a genetic counseling session and listen to a guest lecture by a genetic counselor.
Curated OER
Genetic Pamphlet with a Purpose
Students design a human genetic condition pamphlet which they present to the class and then take to a doctor's or pediatrician's office.
Curated OER
Cracking the Genetic Code
High schoolers explain what the knowledge of DNA can tell us about ourselves and other organisms and species. They also explore the systematic study of the human genome.
