Genetic Genius 4 - Pedigree, Dihybrid Cross, Protein Synthesis, Engineers
Class experience
US Grade 4 - 6
Part 4 is a course that goes further into Genetics than Parts 1, 2, and 3. It is advised to take those three classes prior to this Part 4 class. *Please note that I prefer students to keep their video open while in my lab classroom and keep chatroom conversation to a minimum. After listening to a short lecture and video (from Youtube), students will learn by assembling an in-depth model of a cell, learn what is protein synthesis, learn how to do a dihybrid Punnet square, and design a My...
They will learn how do read a pedigree chart, dihybrid Punnett squares, protein synthesis, and think like a genetic engineer of the future.
I've taught Genetics for over thirty-five years in my Biology class and Forensics class. It would be my pleasure to teach your child/children to prepare them for what lies ahead because it is a field that is advancing so quickly.

Topics may be disturbing for some students who are unaware of how scientists are using Genetics. Creating designer babies may involve some reproductive references. I do my best to make it age-appropriate. If I can't answer directly, I will let them know to ask their parents.
