Students are introduced to genetics along with genetic diseases and heredity. In groups, they complete a Punnett Square to determine the dominant and recessive genes. After viewing diagrams, they identify the characteristics of DNA and demonstrate the processes of Meiosis and Mitosis. To end the lesson, they discover the factors that cause genes to mutate.

Students practice looking at their genetics to inquire about their past. In groups, they determine their recessive and dominant genes and plot their height on a graph. They compare and contrast the processes of meiosis and mitosis. Individually, they research one genetic disease and share the information with the class to end the lesson. Full Review »

Students work in teams with two boxes of beans (one with 100 red and one with 100 white beans) which represent genes. Students watch teacher place genotypes of parents on the board. Each student team counts out the appropriage numbers and colors of beans per box in the Pundett square. Student pairs pull two beans at a time from each box and arrange the pairs in rows and calculate the ratio of each combination. Full Review »

Students examine the difference between dominant and recessive genes, and what happens when genes are combined. They complete a worksheet on genetics after observing if they can wiggle their ears or roll their tongues. They determine the labeling system for genes using upper and lower case letters.

Students review the concepts of incomplete dominance, co-dominance and multiple alleles. As a class, they are introduced to the concept of sex-linked genes and how they are passed to offspring. To end the lesson, they examine possible problems with linked genes. Full Review »
