Week 8 blog
This week in lab we learned about mutations and the effects they can have on someone's phenotype. The picture above shows an activity we did in class today, we created random DNA sequences to try and understand how mutations form. I thought this activity was extremely helpful in demonstrating the way mutations affect protein development. A question I have about this lesson is, what is the best way to teach the topic of mutation to elementary students?
Hi Monet! I really like the question that you asked about how to teach this to elementary students. The simulations were fun, but I feel like some of these concepts would be hard to explain without the right resources.
ReplyDeleteHey Monet, great blog post! I love how you included an image of the mutations website review game that we explored during class. This was a great reminder of what I learned from that activity!
