Human Genome Project

Objectives:
1.To teach the students about Human Genome Project
2.To get students thinking outside of the box

Introduction:
Discuss with the students how the human genomes map out who we are. The scientists had to crack open a code to map out the genomes.

Development:
Give the students codes to crack such as
Ewe Ken Dew N E ting (You can do anything)
Or numeric alphabet codes.
*If a computer is available in the classroom, make a PowerPoint "Secret Mission"

Conclusion:
Students should be able to understand how to think about things in a new way..

Evaluation:
Students should not necessarily be evaluated on whether or not they cracked the code, but rather if they understand after the codes are explained.
