In this interdisciplinary unit, students investigate why different populations have developed varying levels of skin pigmentation and how these adaptations relate to vitamin D synthesis, UV radiation protection, and geographic ancestry. Brooklyn's diverse population provides a living laboratory to examine how evolutionary pressures shaped human traits over generations. Students build understanding inheritance patterns through meiosis and how natural selection drives population-level adaptations. They explore the relationship between melanin, UV radiation, and vitamin D synthesis while considering the historical migrations that brought diverse populations together in Brooklyn. Through investigations, inheritance modeling, and community engagement, students address the essential question: What’s the story behind the diversity of skin pigmentation in human populations? They develop skills in scientific modeling, and evidence-based reasoning as they uncover the complex interplay between genetics, environment, human evolution, and society. By the unit's end, students will produce a portfolio demonstrating their understanding of both inheritance and evolutionary processes. Their learning culminates in art projects that promote scientific literacy about human diversity, demonstrating biological understanding along with the cultural significance and lived experience it represents.

I want to design a project about the rocky shore that incorporates NGSS standards. It will blend math, science, and literacy, with students working together in groups to explore key concepts. My students love Pokemon this year. We want to visit the Birch Aquarium.

Conduct a multicultural fair to explore and celebrate different cultures. Students will research a country, prepare traditional dishes, and present on cultural practices.

What should “liberty and justice for all” mean now? Students will learn about lgbtq, disability, and civil rights. We will explore the new Ethnic Studies course they will take in high school.

Students will write an essay explaining why people have migrated within the United States and create a map to show migration trends over time. The class will analyze major migration movements together.
