Students rotate through short puzzle stations featuring UV bead color-change demos, a short case study of increased skin cancer rates, a diagram of thymine dimers, and a meiosis chromosome shuffle model. In teams, they record observations and generate “What could be happening at the DNA level?” questions. The class debrief connects environmental factors, replication errors, and meiosis to genetic variation.
