Superpower Genetics: A Comic Strip Reflection Activity- MYP2 -Science- Nidhi Periwal

Objective of the Learning Engagement: Encourage creative application of genetic concepts through a reflection activity Details of the Learning Engagement: Activity: Students imagine they have a special trait inherited from their DNA (e.g., super memory, night vision, disease resistance).They describe their "superpower" and explain how genetics might influence it. Reflection Questions: What real genetic traits exist that are similar to this superpower? How could genetic mutations lead to advantages in real life? If you could pass on a trait to future generations, what would it be and why? They make a comic strip and upload on https://join.pixton.com/rpkqcm . Student work :   Impact of the engagement on students and reflection as a teacher: They were enjoying the activity and were able to articulate complex learning of genetics into simple ideas. -Nidhi Periwal
