Today at the Arizona Science Center, the girls participated in a workshop designed to help them understand genetics and how each person inherits individual traits. We compared freckles, tongue rolling, toe lengths, finger agility, as well as the more obvious traits like hair color and height.
By selecting "chromosomes" from two sources, green and yellow, the girls created a unique "Rebob" and assembled it using marshmallows, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, pins, and tacks.
The girls learned about inherited traits by deciphering a "Bioglyph" and creating individual self portraits.
