Learners will engage in a short discussion on what genetics are and the importance of them in our every day lives. This is the third course in the All About Genetics Course Series. During Genetics- Dihybrid Cross learners will pull a set of traits out of list provided and complete a dihybrid cross of the specific traits they have chosen. After they use the FOIL method to help construct their punnett square learners will figure what all the possible genotypes and phenotypes combinations. Learners will introduce themselves and then engage in a discussion on the history of genetics. Then watch a short video clip by the Amoeba Sisters on Dihybrid Trait Crosses. After the video is over they will complete an interactive activity with the other learners in the class to create their punnett squares. Once, the punnett square is complete they will sketch out what the creature would look like and share their creations.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello,
Currently, I am a 7th grade Science teacher. I have taught for 10 years including teaching students from 6th grade to 8th grade. For the last 6 years I have coached the High School Girls Bowling Team. I am currently certified as a Google Educator: Level 1 and 2, as well as a certified Newsela Teacher. I have just finished my Masters in Education with a K-12 technology certification.
All of the classes I teach online will be cross curricular. I love incorporating as many areas of study into my lessons to allow students to see beyond just a science topic and how knowledge can be applied in many areas. I believe that education should not only teach students basic skills but push students outside of their comfort zones into exploring something new and exciting. I expect all students to work to their highest ability level no matter the circumstances they are in. Our history is what shapes our futures and I want to be a positive impact on those histories.
A few fun facts about me: I have two little boys (7 and 5). They keep me busy all the time. I absolutely love when they learn something new or when they teach me something new. I always try to push myself in learning new things to help better influence the students in my classroom. I am not only a bowling coach but I am a bowler myself. I also love to cross stitch (this may have to be a class).
