In this class, we will explore the genetics behind eye color, focusing on the dominance and recessiveness of genes. Through an interactive slideshow, I'll explain how genes determine eye color, and we'll work together on Punnett square examples to predict inheritance patterns. Students will then apply what they've learned to a worksheet, practicing their own Punnett squares to predict possible eye colors in different scenarios. By the end of the class, students will have a solid understanding of basic genetic principles and how they apply to real-world traits like eye color. This class is perfect for curious learners who want to dive into the science of heredity.
Learning Goals
As a result of this lesson, students will review what genes are and how they work.
As a result of this lesson, students will demonstrate how parental genes are passed down to offspring.
