The aim of this project is for students to find out about genetic information and where it comes from. This project allows them to understand the importance of DNA. In groups the students have been making a full double helix DNA structure, using paper, sweets, plasticine and other resources.
The majority of the students chose this project because they want to explore and investigate how they are made from DNA. We asked one of the students why they chose the genetics project for Theme Week and she said, “It is interesting and I want to find out what my genes look like.” After the model had been made the teacher in charge of the project, Miss Reeves stated that, “This project helped the students understand what they were made from and what genes and DNA meant and what they had inherited from their parents.”
