Course description

This introduction to genetics and biotechnology will introduce the student to the complex world of genetics using biotechnology methods. The primary objective of our high school genetics class is to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of the principles and mechanisms that govern heredity, variation, and the molecular basis of life. Throughout the course, students will delve into the intricacies of DNA, genes, and chromosomes, exploring how these fundamental units contribute to the diversity of traits observed in living organisms. The curriculum aims to foster critical thinking skills, scientific inquiry, and an appreciation for the ethical considerations surrounding genetic advancements. By the end of the class, students will not only grasp the principles of classical and molecular genetics but also be equipped to analyze and interpret genetic information, empowering them to make informed decisions in a world increasingly shaped by advances in biotechnology and genomics. Through engaging lessons, hands-on experiments, and discussions on contemporary issues in genetics, our goal is to , inspire a lifelong curiosity about the genetic tapestry that underlies the richness of life on Earth.
