Understanding Our Unique Differences: Exploring Physical Traits and DNA

In our diverse classroom, we often notice that we look different from one another. This activity encourages you to find someone who appears different and explore how you are similar and how you're different in physical traits. We'll discuss why these differences exist, focusing on the role of DNA—our genetic blueprint. We'll also reflect on how Stone Age humans adapted to their environments, leading to variations in skin color and other physical traits. Remember to be respectful and considerate as we delve into these meaningful conversations about human diversity.
