Parent involvement and investment is an important part of this unit.  We understand that this topic can be controversial.  By informing parents/guardians in advance of the unit we hope that they will be open to suggested outcomes and see value in the discovery.  Parents/guardians will be kept updated as the unit progresses through the school's chosen communication platform (ex. Powerschool, Edmodo, D2L).  We have noted D2L as a stand in option for the purposes of this project.
