Humans has always been interested in genetics for many years, and their study is very important for developing better plants and animals. In 2008 it was added to the curriculum of the Brazilian high school some issues about genetics. Unesp of Jaboticabal has several courses in which genetics is a compulsory subject. For this reason, the project Genetics at School was developed to transmit practical knowledge of genetic to third year high school students. The topics covered for the classes will be: reproduction of the species (sexual and asexual), heredity, Mendel's laws, sex-linked inheritance, blood incompatibility groups, genetic code: DNA and RNA, paternity tests (electrophoresis), biotechnology and genetically modified organisms, genetic improvement and "general curiosities", being taught through classes with the aid of powerpoint and other resources. During the first half, as well as preparation of lessons and teaching materials, schools consultation was made to check availability and interest, and these four signaled positively. In the second half the lessons related to the proposed topics will be taught from September.
