During this unit you will be learning about inheritance, genetic disorders, mutations, and protein synthesis. Your job will be to research genetic disorders, their causes, and their symptoms.
Use the tabs at the top of this page to conduct your research. Make sure to fill in your handout with the appropriate information as you go through the sites.
After completing your research handout, you will choose a specific disorder to focus on; then, you will come up with an idea for a device that will help people who have that disorder. Follow the research guide to help direct you in determining which disorder you would like to use as the base for your project.
You can view several prototypes for such devices by clicking on the last tab at top of this page.
