Test My Genes Lab: Students Use Their Traits to Practice Punnett Squares - NGSS
In Brief: The lab proceeds as follows1. Students complete a short matching section using important genetics terms2. Students read about five different human traits (Interlacing of fingers, PTC tasting, Presence of Palmaris Longus Muscle, Hair Texture, and Color Vision)3. Students attempt to determine their genotpyes, based upon their phenotypes, and the information in the lab.4. Students perform Punnett Squares using their genotypes, in order to make predictions about future generationsA. NEXT

Transcription and Translation Model Activity
NEW and IMPROVED! I updated the previous version of this activity to make it more user friendly. This updated version should take about 1-1.5 hours to complete.
I really like this activity and am quite proud to share it with the TpT community. This is a paper model activity where students will be guided through the steps of transcription and translation and then also learn about mutations. Students first begin by cutting and gluing paper strips of DNA. Then, they will transcribe the DNA into mR
