• module standards:
• HS-LS3-1 Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring.
• HS-LS3-2 Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from: (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occurring during replication, and/or (3) mutations caused by environmental factors. competencies:

• "Sharing Ideas" driving-question: What's the deal with DNA? know:
• DNA is the code that programs what an organism will be
• The probability of an event can be predicted using logic and fractions understand: DNA is code do: Make a board or video game that teaches what you learned about Genetics
