| Program Description | Who was Mendel and what does the study of peas have to do with us? The lesson will introduce students to genetics using Mendel?s study as a basis. We will explore traits among the students and determine which are dominant and which are recessive. We will use the Punnett square to tract inheritance of traits, and perform a Pedigree test. | |
| Program Format |
1. The program starts with an exploration of what students know about heredity and genetics. 2. The students will fill out a chart of their traits as we discuss heredity. 3. We will discuss how we inherit traits, Mendel, and DNA among others. 4. The students will fill out a Punnett Square along with the presenter. 5. If time permits, we will work a Pedigree test. 6. Time is allowed for questions and answers. |

| Objectives |
- Determine and predict genotypes and phenotypes of parents and their offspring?s - Learn to use a Punnett Square - Discuss the impacts of gene studies - Learn to perform a Pedigree Test |
