Happy Tuesday!!!

Question of the Day:

  • Would you rather play a villain or a hero in a movie?

Activities:

  • Lesson on pedigrees
  • Pedigree simulation activity

Learning Intention:

I will understand that variance in offspring is predictable.

 

Success Criteria:

  • I can define key genetics terms. (ie. phenotype, genotype, trait, gene, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, and recessive)
  • I can use punnett squares and pedigrees to predict the genotype and phenotype of offspring.
  • I can use punnett squares to predict parent genotypes using offspring phenotypes.
  • I can use pedigree information to backmap missing information in other parts of the pedigree.

I grew up in Cleveland and left Ohio as soon as I graduated college. I lived in Arizona for 6 years then moved here to Colorado. I have been teaching for 18 years and love it! Outside of school I enjoy fostering dogs, working in my garden and taking care of my bees. I have a shop where I sell honey, lip balm and other honey products. I love Colorado and am so excited to be a part of Rocky Top.
