Genetic Disorder Presentation (PPnt & Presentation...Rubric & Explanation)
This is such a great research project after students have learned about genetics, DNA, and mutations. It ties in all of the curriculum and makes it real life. The students love diving into the the "medical worlds" and gives them a sense of professionalism as they present. This comes with an Excel spreadsheet that I couldn't attach to this, so its a free resource on my shop. It has list of genetic disorders that students can choose from. I draw names and let the students pick so it is fair. *Edit

Hello fellow educator!Thank you very much for clicking on this product. The DNA databanks PBL is a project I designed after taking the "Authentic connections for PBL" course by Eduspire and Wilson College.

Human Body Self-Guided Study Project
NGSS and Common Core aligned project guidelines and rubric for an in-depth study of an organ of the human body. Fully editable, it allows you to customize this for your purposes, most appropriate for grades 4-6. I use this as a wrap up for 5th grade study of the human body systems. The guidelines are purposefully open-ended so students can select a mode of presentation that best suits their learning methods.
