Hello! It's Gene again. Are your students ready to have some fun? It is time for them to apply their knowledge about me using the workbook Fun with Gene. The workbook complements the textbooks Call Me Gene and My Name is Gene. This book is divided into three sections: - 1. Cases to Solve. Students will be able to solve cases related to genetic diseases, agriculture, and forensic medicine. They will also learn about pedigrees and how scientists use the Genebank database to identify and/or retrieve DNA sequences. This section is divided into two parts: The Basics and Beyond the Basics. The former includes two cases that are easy to solve. The latter contains more challenging cases to solve and a family pedigree. Beyond the Basics is for the more daring students.
- 2. Hands-on Activities and Games. In this section, students will learn how to extract DNA from a vegetable and make simple DNA and cell models. A game will show the students how DNA decoding works. A crossword puzzle and a word search are also included.
- 3. Exercises. In this section, students will test their basic knowledge of DNA, RNA, mutations, and cell structure.
