The Human Genome - Mapping the Blueprint of Human Life

Have you ever wondered why you look the way you do? The answer lies in your human genome, the code of life. The Human Genome: Mapping the Blueprint of Human Life investigates the fascinating world of genetics and the human genome.

Hands-on activities, trivia, and links to primary sources, videos, and other relevant websites offer text-to-self and text-to-world connections to make learning applicable and fundamental.
