What educators are saying

This was such a fun activity. I help prepare my students for the science part of the GED test and this helped them understand about punnent squares in such a fun way.
The students loved using this in our agriculture class as a quick review of genetics right before Easter. Most had some experience using Punnett squares, but even those who needed some help found the activity fun. Solving the mystery was also fun! Thanks for a great resource!

Description

Gear up for EASTER!! Introducing an engaging and educational resource that brings the mysteries of genetics and heredity to life for your middle and high school science students! Our fun Spring and/or Easter activity is perfect for animal science, biology, and life science classes and will have your students using critical thinking skills and Punnett squares to crack the case of the Easter Bunny's rightful 'hare.'

With a focus on genotypes and phenotypes, this worksheet will challenge your students to analyze a family tree, fill in Punnett squares, and make connections between genetics and physical characteristics. While a basic understanding of dominant and recessive genes is required, this resource also provides practice opportunities and examples to reinforce important concepts.

Not only is this resource engaging and educational, it's also practical for teachers. Leave it for a substitute teacher and rest assured that your students will be kept engaged and determined to solve the scandalous mystery. In fact, many teachers have successfully used this as emergency sub plans in the past with great results.

But don't just take our word for it! Here's what one teacher had to say: "The way this worksheet walks students through solving this scandal makes leaving this for a substitute teacher easy. Even my students who needed help using the punnett squares thought this activity fun and found solving the mystery of the Easter bunny entertaining!"

This resource is not limited to just Easter or Spring - it's a versatile supplement that can be used in a variety of courses, including Intro to Agriculture, AFNR, or biology.

So why wait? Bring the excitement of genetics and heredity to your classroom with our engaging and educational resource, and watch your students develop a deeper understanding of these important scientific concepts while having fun!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSHS-LS3-3
Apply concepts of statistics and probability to explain the variation and distribution of expressed traits in a population. Emphasis is on the use of mathematics to describe the probability of traits as it relates to genetic and environmental factors in the expression of traits. Assessment does not include Hardy-Weinberg calculations.
NGSSHS-LS4-2
Construct an explanation based on evidence that the process of evolution primarily results from four factors: (1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the heritable genetic variation of individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction, (3) competition for limited resources, and (4) the proliferation of those organisms that are better able to survive and reproduce in the environment. Emphasis is on using evidence to explain the influence each of the four factors has on number of organisms, behaviors, morphology, or physiology in terms of ability to compete for limited resources and subsequent survival of individuals and adaptation of species. Examples of evidence could include mathematical models such as simple distribution graphs and proportional reasoning. Assessment does not include other mechanisms of evolution, such as genetic drift, gene flow through migration, and co-evolution.
NGSSHS-LS4-1
Communicate scientific information that common ancestry and biological evolution are supported by multiple lines of empirical evidence. Emphasis is on a conceptual understanding of the role each line of evidence has relating to common ancestry and biological evolution. Examples of evidence could include similarities in DNA sequences, anatomical structures, and order of appearance of structures in embryological development.
NGSSHS-LS4-3
Apply concepts of statistics and probability to support explanations that organisms with an advantageous heritable trait tend to increase in proportion to organisms lacking this trait. Emphasis is on analyzing shifts in numerical distribution of traits and using these shifts as evidence to support explanations. Assessment is limited to basic statistical and graphical analysis. Assessment does not include allele frequency calculations.
NGSSMS-LS3-2
Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Emphasis is on using models such as Punnett squares, diagrams, and simulations to describe the cause and effect relationship of gene transmission from parent(s) to offspring and resulting genetic variation.
