Lab Activity: Kitty Cat Genetics
Lab Activity Description: Kitty-Cat GeneticsOverview: In this engaging lab activity, students will explore the fascinating world of genetics by simulating the breeding of cats with specific genetic traits. Each student is assigned a unique genetic code for their "cat," which includes traits such as fur color, fur length, eye color, tail length, genetic disorder, stripes, and the presence of the orange color gene. Students will then partner with a classmate to mate their cats, filling out Punnett

Learn heredity and probability, with bulldog genetics. Produce the most profits.
Create a bulldog breeding business and learn genetics and trait inheritance. This 37 page package includes: 1. 27 possible bulldogs mating pairings. 2. Hundreds of possible images of bulldog offspring phenotypes. 3. A nine page genetics lesson plan 4. A three page product description 5. Poster project cutouts (two pages) 6. A Bulldog punnett square worksheet.
Students will be able to use their knowledge of heredity to select the best bulldog mating pair and produce sixteen possible offspring th
Cell Size- Investigating why we have trillions of cells and not one big cell?
This highly engaging activity (Google and PDF versions) using agar cubes (representing cells) explains why we are made up of trillions of cells and not just one big cell. The diffusion of “food” moving into the agar “cells” is observed and measurements recorded. Depending on their math ability, the students will calculate the surface area and volume of the agar “cells'' and they will be able to see why the ratio of surface area to volume is so important in determining the size of cells. However

Monster Genetics
Students will create parent's gene versions (alleles) and traits (9 different ones) through a random roll of a die then will use that information to produce viable offspring. They will model their offspring through punnett squares and make connections to math through ratios. Students will draw or make a model of their offspring and then answer three written response questions. Rubric included (4,3,2,1). This could be used as a final assessment and would take students between 2-3 days. Tasks belo
