A longer documentary about the Human Genome Project:
y9 challenges for week 4-8 nov
In groups of 2 or 3 students, prepare a research project on one of the following topics:
1. The Human Genome Project - history, advances, uses, moral issues etc.
2. Fingerprints and DNA - can we rely on fingerprints to keep our data secure?
3. Genetic diseases - you can choose any genetic disease and present the causes, the effects, long term implications etc
4. Inbreeding - what are the problems that arise from inbreeding?
5. Hybrids - how do we get them and what is the difference between hybrids and normal species?
You can choose any suitable form of presenting your findings: research report, powerpoint presentation, prezi, poster, video etc.
