Circle: Who are you more like personality wise, you mother or your father?

Homework: Please SQ3R pages 141-149 and 157-165.  Please have these completed for class on Monday.

If you were absent from class last Thursday day you need to schedule a time for the make-up test.

Learning Targets:  At your table discuss the learning targets.  Be ready to report out.

1. What are chromosomes, DNA, genes and the human genome?

2. How do twin and adoption studies help us understand the effects and interactions of nature and nurture?

3. What is heritability, and how does it relate to individuals and groups?

4. How is molecular genetics research changing our understanding of nature and nurture?


Activity Review: What the hell is heritability?

Activity: With your group you will choose two of the following studies/articles.  After reading each one discuss your findings and be ready to report out to the class the following questions:

Nurture:
Childhood Stress 
Harlow's Monkeys
Parents matter but they don't make a difference

Nature:
Twin Studies
5 True Stories of Twins Separated at Birth
Gene Genies


2. Do you think personality traits are primarily inherited or influenced by environment? What is your evidence?


3. Why do you think nature versus nurture is debated? Do you think it is possible to answer this question definitively? Why or why not?


4. Who might be most interested in resolving the nature versus nurture debate? What effect might a resolution have on our society?



5. If you were raising identical twins, what might you do to make sure that they were unique individuals? Explain your answer.



6. Based on what you have learned, do you think it is possible to change your personality? Why or why not? If so, how would you go about making changes?



7. If you are not a twin, would you rather be an identical or a fraternal twin? Why? What do you think would be some of the challenges of being a twin? If you are a twin, write a couple of sentences about the experience. Is it fun? Difficult? If you have other siblings, is your relationship with your twin different from the relationship with your other siblings? If so, what makes it different?
