We are further into our science unit on genetics. I am aware of how close many of these conversations get to sex, but I have to say this class really handles the conversations quite well. They had a review sheet to do covering many of the important ideas in the unit so far. A key concept of the unit is fertilization (when an offspring gets half of their genetic information from their father and the other half from their mother). On their review sheet, they had to define fertilization, and many of them did quite well. Here are some funny responses:
"when a sperm and an egg UNITE!" (yes, written in caps)
"the reproductive organs join and connect to produce an offspring" (haha- we never discussed the reproductive organs)
"when the sperm meets the egg and they decide to have a baby" (haha- we never talked about cells having a discussion either)
