|
Materials:
Index cards
colored cards
work sheets

| Teaching Procedure |
Bellwork:
Review the vocab involved:
Independent assortment, multiple alleles, polygenic traits. |
Anticipatory Set:
none |
The Lesson:
| 1. |
Review the vocab by the "quiz, quiz, trade" routine.
Independent Practice with Active Participation |
| 2. |
Separate the students in groups
Guided Practice with Active Participation |
| 3. |
Each group will have one set of gene cards, work with a partner and with rotations.
Independent Practice with Active Participation |
| 4. |
Take cards out and do the crosses and build the baby.

|
Closure (Student-centered):
Explain why it is chromosomes, not individual genes, that assort independently.

|
Lesson Extension and/or Modification:
At the end of the lab, students will be encouraged to build the baby models (see the pictures attached in Sample of instruction).
