4 lessons//4 Weeks
 Week 1
Lesson 1
Lesson 1: Introduction to Punnett Squares and Vocab
In lesson 1, you will learn the vocabulary punnett square, probability, genotype, phenotype, gene, ratio, segregation of genes, independent assortment, homozygous, heterozygous, carrier, dominant, and recessive. You will learn how to set up and solve monohybrid squares throughout the course, but in this lesson we will practice counting and determining the ratios of genotypes and phenotypes for already solved squares.
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Lesson 2: Complete dominance, Codominance, Incomplete Dominance Squares
In lesson 2, you will now be ready to set up and solve your own squares. You will segregation the parents genes on top and on the side of the square, then you will distribute the genes/alleles into the squares. Finally, you will analyze the results. We will solve complete dominant or Mendelian squares, incomplete dominant squares, and codominant squares. You will be able to differentiate the types by looking at the heterozygous phenotypes.
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Lesson 3: Sex linked Squares and Multiple Allele Squares
In lesson 3, you will now be solving more complex squares of sex linked punnett squares and multiple allele squares. Multiple allele squares that we will practice are blood types, fur color, and hair color. You will distribute the parent genes, analyze the square and calculate the genotype and phenotype possibilities for the offspring. Finally you will answer critical thinking questions based on the results of the squares.
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Lesson 4: Dihybrid Punnett Squares
In lesson 4, you will solve dihybrid squares. In other words, we will set up and solve two trait crosses. You will learn the foiling technique to properly distribute alleles for the parents genes so you can properly distribute the alleles to show all the possible combinations in the offspring. This helps us to visual what happens during sexual reproduction, the fusion of the gametes to produce offspring.
Objective: Use Punnett squares to predict the genotype and phenotype of offspring in genetic crosses. We will study Mendelian Genetics, non-Mendel-incomplete dominance and co-dominance   By the end of the lesson you will be able to solve various Punnett squares and general vocabulary
Homework Offered
I provide interactive activities via Quizizz and pdf options to complete. Homework is optional and I give several options to choose from. You are welcome to do as many as you like!
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Practice Questions, interactive review games, and discussion questions will show student knowledge and understanding. There is a final Quizizz game/ pdf students will complete at the end of the course will show their complete understanding.
Grades Offered
I provide a homework grade for anything turned in, but items not turned in are not accounted for your grade. I can provide an overall grade for you at the end of the course. The overall grade is a combination of the homework and the final exam. I can make you a certificate.
