Genetic Disease Research Report / Powerpoint Presentation
The purpose of this research report is for students (grades 7-9) to get a further understanding in how mutations on various genes cause different types of diseases. The project should be given to students once they have background knowledge on genetics and heredity so near the end of the unit would be best. In a class of 24 for example, place 24 numbers in a container and those numbers are the order for the picking of the genetic diseases. Don't allow more that two of the same genetic disease

Importance of learning science
Learning science is particularly important for students as it equips them with the essential knowledge and skills to make sense of the world around them. Science education is not just about memorizing facts. It fosters critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in everyday life beyond the classroom.
Benefits of learning science
Learning science offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. In fact, it helps students:
- Question the world around them and seek evidence-based explanations
- Cultivate their ability to observe, experiment, and analyze data
- Nurture a sense of curiosity, awe, and wonder about the natural world
- Understand natural phenomena and the laws that govern the universe
With a solid foundation in science, teachers can help empower students to think critically, solve problems, make informed decisions, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.
Teaching with science resources
One of the best parts about science class is all of the possibilities for hands-on, collaborative learning! Think: labs, experiments, inquiry-based activities, and design challenges. These activities encourage students to explore scientific concepts by observing, asking questions, and conducting investigations. Additionally, with small group centers, students can engage in group experiments, discussions, and projects that require them to collaborate, share ideas, and solve problems together.
