Alien Offspring
by Arianna Johnson
Students will learn about the relationships between traits of humans and animals. They will use real examples to relate their vocabulary to their everyday lives and then put it into practice by playing games together and reflecting on their own identities. They will use things they know about themselves and genetics to create an alien offspring based on a mother and father by flipping a coin. They will end by designing their creations on a technological resource that most fits the needs at the school they are at.
