Genetic Disorders Research Project

1. Once you have formed your groups and sit together, you can start researching your genetic disorder. Every group should start with: 

• Encyclopedia Britannica, username: kippbayview, password: ligers (this can count as ONE of your resources)
• You may use your partner (volume of 2) voice so you can discuss who is going to research each part and share resources.

2. Each person in you group should use at least 2 different resources. 

• This means that if you're working alone, you should use at least 3 different websites.
• If you're working with one other person, you should use at least 5 different resources.
• If you're working with two other people, you should use at least 7 different resources.
