The 3-week project focuses on how traits are passed from parents to offspring through genes. Students will determine genotypes and phenotypes of common traits, create Punnett squares and genetic crosses to illustrate inheritance. The driving question is how traits are passed through gene inheritance. Students will address life science standards on genetics and inclusion of math. Products include a display board and presentation. Formative assessments include quizzes and reviews, while summative assessments consist of a written report and oral presentation with rubrics. Resources and support include after school time, technology, and instruction on research, software, and presentation skills.
