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.
