What Makes Us Look Different? Preview CT-STEM

How are we going to figure this out?

We are going to use a combination of resources to figure this out: computational models, experimental analysis, and scientific literature will all play an important role.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Question 4.1

Watch the video above. Write down 3 trends you see with the scientists who are featured.

Question 4.2

Summarize how computational tools are used by scientists as shown in this video.

Question 4.3

A lot of the molecules we're going to look at are really tiny. For example, DNA molecules are only 1 nanometer wide! If you take a millimeter, which is already pretty tiny, divide it by 1000, and divide it by 1000 again, that's a nanometer. Using this information, why might computational models help?

Question 4.4

What are some other reasons we might want to use computational modeling to figure out how the twins look different?
