Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 7
Students will learn basic Genetic vocabulary such as dominant, recessive, homozygous and heterozygous and learn how to predict probability of genetic crosses by working Punnett Squares. All of the examples that we work through will have a Halloween theme. An example of this would be to calculate a vampire's probability of passing on a widow's peak to his offspring. The learning will be interactive as the students will be making predictions as they complete Punnett squares. I will guide the students through the learning with discussions and questions and the students will be interacting with each other. Previous knowledge of Genetics is not required as this class is an introduction to Genetics.
Learning Goals
Students will learn basic Genetic vocabulary, understand how traits are inherited, and calculate probability of inheritance.
