SOLVING THE RIDDLES OF INHERITANCE - SCHOOL WORKSHOP

Barbara Fischer, along with a team comprising Lynn Chiu (KLI alumna), Severin Bachmayer and others created a workshop titled Solving The Riddles of Inheritance, specifically designed to teach school students the different modes of inheritance as well as the interplay between genes and environment on the visible traits of an organism. With emphasis on familiarising students with scientific methods and scientific thinking, this workshop includes hands-on Art-Science Activity, Microscope Laboratory Activity, and a Science Quiz.

The workshop was first presented in 2022 at the Natural History Museum (NHM) in Vienna as part of the celebration of the bicentennial anniversary of Gregor J. Mendel, and are part of a now completed EU project (GJM200, INTERREG AT-CZ).  Because of their huge success and popularity in 2022, this running workshop is now continuing again. These workshops have started this month (September 2024) and will go on till February 2025, at the Deck50 of the Natural History Museum of Vienna (NHM Wien).

Here is the NHM webpage announcement of the workshop.
