Students study the history of genetics as well as the basic principles of genetics through Greg Mendel's experiments. They study Mendel's experiments using both a textbook and a web site. They use punnett squares and predict the offspring of the pea plants. Students then consult the web site to check their work. Full Review »

Students explore Gregor Mendel's work with genetics. They complete a survey of their friends and family in order to identify dominant and recessive traits. Once their surveys are complete, students discuss the ways in which dominant and recessive traits can occur in a variety of combinations. Full Review »

Students summarize the three major steps of Gregor Mendel's garden-pea experiments. They define the terms homozygous, heterozygous, genotype and phenotype. They predict the outcome of mono-hybrid and di-hybrid crosses and predict the results of dihybrid genetic crosses by using Punnett squares. Full Review »
