This workshop looks at living things and how they grow and change. Genes are introduced as instructions or recipes for development.

• Is it useful to know about genes?
• How do genes work?
• Which genes decide how we look and which genes are hidden?
• Will the monster detectives catch the infamous apple muncher? Will knowing about his genes help the detectives?
• Who should know about hidden genes?

This workshop contains a game where children create, and dress up as, a monster using genes, and think about the monsters' hidden genes.

Suitable for P4, 5, & 6 classes. Workshop takes about an hour to complete and we bring all our own equipment. For more information and booking please go to our contact page.
