Genetics

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

An informative video begins with 14 vocabulary words related to genetics, allowing scholars to think about their definitions before the instructor reviews a few tricky definitions. Individuals then learn about Gregor Mendel's research, explore a monohybrid cross through a Punnett square for the first time, and work through some genetic questions related to vocabulary.

Instructional Ideas
  • As vocabulary words flash on the screen, pause video and ask classmates for definitions; allow time for them to take notes and discuss
  • Pause video after sample problem questions so learners can answer them

Pros
