An ETC Montessori original! Aimed at students in advanced upper elementary and middle school, or 6th grade through 8th grade.
For the first time, you can now present the functions of DNA and RNA to students in an easy and very understandable way. Using an original design, the building of DNA can be created in a way that is easy. Use this material as a prequel to our Introduction to Genetics packet (ELC-4017) if you are presenting it in the Middle School environment. Included are activities that for the first time bring together the Patterns of Human Migration (ELC-5079), the Human Migration Chart (ELC-5076), and The Human Journey (ELC-5050). Tying into the Human Genome and the Human Genome Project, students can begin to make the necessary connections.
This is one curriculum that was never available in Montessori classrooms, until now!
