Genome: Unlocking Life’s Code provides free lesson plans and storyline units to help guide high school students as they explore various genetics and genomics concepts. Units will culminate in community-focused projects.

In this session, participants will be introduced to a playlist that addresses the same Disciplinary Core Ideas as the Food Allergy Storyline Unit (LS1.A Structure and Function and LS3.A Inheritance of Traits), but in a shorter three-lesson sequence that does not include a project.

All individuals receive a certificate of participation and 100 NSTA activity points for attending the live seminar and completing the end-of-program survey. A certificate of participation is not awarded for watching the recorded version of the program.

We invite you to register for upcoming web seminars at NSTA.

  • "The interactive pieces helped keep focus and understanding of the topic. It made the material fun and engaging."
