GUMMY BEAR GENETICS LAB

Gummy Bear Genetics is a lab used to investigate and discover how traits are inherited. The lab replicates Gregory Mendel's famous pea plant experiments. This lab can be used to introduce and discover genetics or as reinforcement.

Students will work on making predictions, forming conclusion with evidence, calculating probability, and collaborating to solve an inquiry based lab.

Teachers only need paper lunch bags and gummy bears.

Lesson includes:

• Teacher preparations and lab directions
• Student lab and reflection
• Genetics Cornell Notes
• Punnett Square Extension
• Modification ideas
• Sample student Responses
• New: Includes a Google Slides digital version of the lab - no need to send home gummy bears to students working from home.
