Step 20
Evaluating, Revising, and Advancing Your Ideas
Look at the flow charts from the class, the ideas about genetics, heredity, and twins, and the connections between science and the research questions. With your group members, brainstorm a list of what you need to know about genetics and the application of genetics to your problem (research questions). As a team, decide how to divide up the topics and research what you need to learn.
· How has your thinking about genetics and twins changed based on the new information? How will the changes in your thinking affect your video segment?
· How will your learning and your new ideas help you answer the question: If two sets of identical twins get married and each couple has a child, could the resulting children be identical?
· To what extent can your learning be used to modify your ideas about genetics, twins, and your video segment?
· What data or supporting facts from the articles help support your plan for the video segment?
· How do the data connect to your topic?
· Are there certain pieces of data that influence you more strongly than others? Are these data reliable?
