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 research genetic disease and mutation causing traits in family pedigrees simulated in a class activity. Students are each assigned a genetic trait and a "spouse" and must conduct research on their traits and the probability of passing on the trait as well as determining the effect, treatment, cost or any other relevant problems associated with their trait.

Students study, manipulate, and research gentic traits. Students discuss how genetic traits are passed from one generation to another. Students explore how they look like their parents and can they do anything aobut it? They manipulate how genetic traits are passed from one generation to another. Students flip a coin to determine whether a dominant or recessive allele is passed to their offspring. Students complete an experiement "Make a Baby" Full Review »

Students define and use genetic terminology. They identify a minimum of five inherited traits, stating whether they are dominant or recessive. Students create a Punnett Square to calculate the probability of offspring inheriting a given trait. They are able to utilize handheld applications to: create resource tools, demonstrate content knowledge, and share with others what they have found out. Full Review »

Students explore the concept of probability as it relates us to be able to make predictions about future events based upon our knowledge of past outcomes. They have an innate appreciation for probability. Students make a connection between gut feelings about probability and the mathematics that will support their notions. Full Review »
