Today we wrapped up GATTACA which we viewed last week in class. We discussed what aspects of the film were true to current science, which were fictitious, as well as cleared up any plot points that confused kids. We also discussed how science is changing, in particular, how parents can now screen for genetic disorders prior to birth using a new technology called PGD.
Next we worked on Activity 61 and Punnett Square Practice. Students who understood after watching the previous night's homework video were allowed to work on their Punnett Square Practice homework individually or in group's, while students who still needed clarification were asked to sit with the teacher for 1 on 1 instruction.
