They will create DNA models, and using those models, see how changes in DNA structure results in diseases such as sickle cell anemia. In addition, students will solve a murder mystery using forensic skills that depend on laboratory techniques such as ABO blood typing, polymerase chain reaction , gel electrophoresis, hair analysis and DNA fingerprinting.
