Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(613)
In this one week intensive, we will meet 4 times to learn how to set up and analyze punnett squares. We will explore complete dominant squares, incomplete dominant squares, codominant squares, multiple allele squares, and dihybrid squares.

4 lessons//1 Week
 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.
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.
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.
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.
Homework Offered
Each class will have optional interactive games and worksheets for after class to be able to work on. Learners can turn in any work they want checked throughout and after the class. Homework is estimated to take 30 minutes to an hour for each class.
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
An optional overall assessment is sent out at the end on Quizizz and pdf option to turn in.
Grades Offered
Each lesson is given a participation effort grade, homework optional grade, and final assessment grade. I am able to make a certificate at the end of the Summer Camp for learners by request.
