Abstract
This chapter delves into practical implementation of a cross-curricular unit of biology and literature. Through collaborative readings, lab work, film study, and structured academic discourse, two advanced placement (AP) classrooms collaborated over several classes fusing science and the humanities. The initial focus of DNA in AP Biology became an exploration of where the bounds of science should extend as AP Literature students joined to raise questions of how far the bounds of science should be allowed to progress. The culmination of the unit required students help bridge the gap between science and the humanities through a Socratic seminar, a structured student-led academic discussion. This chapter reviews the rationale for implantation; the unit plan, including subject-specific and collaborative lessons; results after implementation; student reflections; and recommendations for future implementation, both for teachers and administrators.
