From a biological stance, you are made of cells, coded by genes, and shaped by the world around you. But, is that all you are?

What makes you, you?

Before we are born there are forces in nature working to make you into the person you are today.

This studio focuses on how your parents, and their parents, have passed on the pieces that help determine who you are. But, is that the whole story? Or is there more to "What makes you?"

What are the big buckets of learning?

The Performance Tasks you will complete through this studio:

Design an experiment to test Mendel's findings.
Build and Analyze Data from a Pedigree Chart to help understand how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
Design a model that describes Genetic Reproduction.
