 Science concept - Generational “curses”

In episode five, we learn that Alice’s family carries a generational curse, which can be similar to generational trauma. How does this affect Alice’s mental health and her life? How does this affect Alice’s family? What is the significance of singing to destroy the curse?

Science concept – Attraction

All five of your senses play a role in attraction. Identify the ways Agatha is attracted to Rio. Because attraction is influenced by chemicals and evolutionary biology, why do you think Agatha is still attracted to Rio? If you were in Agatha’s position, would you be able to defy the chemicals released by your body?

 Science concept - Reproduction

What is the genetic different between an egg and a sperm? How is it possible for Rio and Agatha to have a son? Can this type of reproduction be possible with the help of technology?
