Mr. K's Science Classes - Messing with Genetics

Students in 8th grade have been studying genetics and how heredity passes down throughout generations to create species equipped to survive. Students were asked to incorporate their creativity, ingenuity, and  interdisciplinary content standards (Science: 8.LSS.1+2; ELA: 8.W.2,4-6; 8.SL.8.1, 4-5), and engineering to complete their project. They needed to design a species that  had to be able to move, either locomotion and/or mouth. Check out their amazing creations here!
