What makes an individual have curly hair, green eyes or be six feet tall? DNA! Our DNA contains genes, which are the physical and functional units of heredity that gives us our unique characteristics. Use this collection to teach students about the structure and function of DNA, how DNA's replicate, the science of genetic engineering and the ethics of gene editing.

SchoolKit, in collaboration with Illustrative Mathematics, has created a video version of select problem-based lessons from IM 6–8 Math and IM Algebra 1. Each video is accompanied by a printed version of the corresponding activity task statements along with a set of cumulative practice problems from the curriculum. The collection features 24 lessons from each of the four courses.

The Illustrative Mathematics K–12 curriculum is available from IM’s certified curriculum partners.
