Stage 5 Science

This term in Year 9 and 10 Science we have been examining what DNA and genes are, and how they make us individuals.

To help our understanding, we have constructed DNA with lollies. Check out the images below. 

I encourage you to discuss this genetics topic at home. Here are some ways to connect the learning at school to home:

• Compare who in your family has inherited these genetic traits.

• Map your family tree together. Do you see any patterns in the different inherited characteristics?
