POST #13: DAISY CHAIN (ANIMATED FILM)

POST #13: DAISY CHAIN (ANIMATED FILM) 

NARRATED BY KATE WINSLET

Daisy Chain is an animated film narrated by Kate Winslet and written by British Australian writer, Galvin Scott Davis. 

Daisy Chain tells the magical story of a little girl named Buttercup Bree who falls victim to nasty (=perversos) posts from shadowy (=sombrios) bullies… until she discovers that her love of Daisy Chains reveals a power that will bring light to the darkness of the playground. 

Daisy Chain allows parents and children to better understand cyber-bullying by teaching them the power of kindness, and  the impact of positive and negative sharing.

Watch the animated film below.  Answer the questions.

POST #12: THE PUNNETT SQUARE

POST #12: THE PUNNETT SQUARE

The Punnett Square (O Quadro de Punnett)

Let's have a conversation about Genetics!

          In order to really predict hair or eye color, you have to think of the genetic traits of your parents, your grandparents, and even your great-grandparents! Why? Even though some people have dominant traits, like brown hair or eyes, it doesn't mean that they don't also have some recessive genes in their DNA. They might just not be in use! Even though your mom and dad might have dominant traits, they can still pass on recessive genes to you! 

          Scientists calculate the probability, or likelihood, of someone's genetic traits using a Punnett square. This diagram helps us to see what traits the child could have based on the different combinations of the parents' genes.
