Possible Flaws to First Idea
• Restrictions in the classroom• Respecting parents rules in children's diets
![Page 9: Independant Project:](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681623b550346895dd26e20/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Possible Flaws to First Idea
• Restrictions in the classroom• Respecting parents• The cost of providing the materials
![Page 10: Independant Project:](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681623b550346895dd26e20/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Possible Flaws to First Idea
• Restrictions in the classroom• Respecting parents• The cost of providing the materials• Sugar affecting the students
![Page 11: Independant Project:](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681623b550346895dd26e20/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Possible Flaws to First Idea
• Restrictions in the classroom• Respecting parents• The cost of providing the materials• Sugars affect on children• Being aware of allergens

Second Idea• DNA Information Poster • A collective, kid-friendly poster about some easy
concepts to make a connection of what DNA is was made.
![Page 13: Independant Project:](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681623b550346895dd26e20/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Second Idea• Color By Numbers• Five blank color by number sheets were made each with
a slightly different number sequence on the DNA. This was done so that each kid had a different animal their DNA would make.
![Page 14: Independant Project:](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681623b550346895dd26e20/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Second Idea• Connect The Dots• Five blank connect the dots sheets were found online
and printed off. Each one made a different animal (Snake, Bear, Bat, Frog, Dog) and would be handed out to the kids when they were done with the color by numbers.

Kids Reactions
• The kids were very excited when we arrived.
• Had a hard time containing themselves. • Were very eager to participate and ask
questions. • They seemed to understand the basis our
presentation.• The projects were age appropriate based
on the outcome.

Our Reactions
• We all felt that the presentation went great overall.
• Overall we got the key points of the of the presentation across.
• A few roadblocks happened with children wanting to blurt out answers or give answers or get off topic.
![Page 31: Independant Project:](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681623b550346895dd26e20/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Kid's Value of the Presentation
• The kids were able to understand how DNA pertains to their life at a basic level.
• Meeting our group from UMD had the kids excited for learning.
• They were able to do things that they enjoy such as coloring to understand basic DNA and see how a slight change in the sequence created different animals.
• Made connections with their own life to relate to DNA and see what it is.
![Page 32: Independant Project:](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681623b550346895dd26e20/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Our Value of the Presentation
• It was great to go out into our community and get involved and inspire kids to strive to learn and dig deeper in their understanding of the sciences such as genetics.
• Even though the presentation was a very basic take on DNA it allowed us to connect with the students and teach them about such things.
• It showed us that our complicated, in depth experiments can be explained to young students by taking a small but important piece and showing how important it is to life on this planet.
