Instructions
- Go to the website called DNA from the Beginning.
- Click on the button labeled Classical Genetics.
- You will see 14 modules appear. I want you to work through Modules 1-5 and 13. Each module is set up like this:
- Concept - This includes a couple of short paragraphs of information.
- Animation - Usually a cheesy (but nicely done) animation that steps you through the material. Use the arrow icon to move through the animation.
- Gallery - Some images of relevant people or events. (I consider this to be optional.)
- Video - Contains one or two short video interviews with scientists discussing the module content. These are a little dry, but they are mercifully short. (In terms of presentation, these guys don't make science look particularly thrilling.)
- Bio - Short biography on a scientist that worked in genetics.
- Problem and Links - I consider these to be optional.
