Create your own model of the DNA double helix structure. Make sure to have a key that explains how the different elements are being represented in your model. Use Pinterest for inspiration as to how to make your DNA model

Logical/Mathematical

Use the linked website to find examples of dominant and recessive traits. Pick one trait from animals, humans, and plants to use for the project. Once you have all the traits picked you need to create three generations. From these generations make the Punnett Squares to show all the possible genotypes and phenotypes. You should also record how frequently certain phenotypes appear in the generations. Use google sheets or Excel to create graphs to represent the frequency. It does not matter with individuals you pick to cross as long as the second and third generations contain at least one of the offspring from the previous cross. Make a PowerPoint to display your work.

Linguistic/Verbal

Write a story from an observer in the cytoplasm watching how a strand of DNA can code for a protein. Explain what is being seen in the processes of transcription and translation. Use Canva to create a storyboard to go along with your writing.

Interpersonal

Create a pamphlet or poster that shows your stance on gene editing. Your pamphlet/poster should inform the class on what gene editing is and why they should agree with you. Also, create a Google form for the class to vote for or against gene editing. You will have to present your stance to the class.

Intrapersonal

Reflect on the traits inherited in your family. Are they dominate or recessive. Write down your reflection as a journal entry. Go back in your family as far as you can. Use canva, powerpoint, or something similar to create a pedigree for one of the traits passed down in your family.

Bodily/Kinesthetic

Create a model of a strand of DNA, its respective RNA strand, and its respective protein chain. Also, you need to create the same three structures if a mutation is present. The mutation can either be a deletion, insertion, or substitution. Use the website linked to learn more about the different types of mutations that you can pick from.

Musical/Rhythmic

Create a spoken word poem about the importance of DNA to living things. Use Musicca to make the beat for your poem.

Natural

Follow the simulation to figure out who committed the crime. Write a reflection on how you figured out who committed the crime and why DNA can be helpful for the criminal justice system.
