Based on the question "What makes you, you?" this month long Biology curriculum explores genetics, heredity and introduces DNA. Through hands-on, minds-on activities, simulated and actual organism breeding, questioning a guest geneticist, and discovering and sharing the most current genetic breakthroughs, students unravel their own conceptions of how they are who they are, and the age old question of nature vs. nurture or the newer question of "Who or what controls who you will become?"
This curriculum is currently being taught during my student teaching at Harwood Union High School, Duxbury, VT.
