Description
This activity is designed to put students in the role of a farmer, responsible for the selective breeding of a flock of sheep in order to get the entire flock to display a desired trait. Students will naturally explore the role that dominant and recessive alleles play in the management of livestock. This activity naturally teaches problem-solving, and is a great STEM activity to reinforce a genetics unit. Students will need to know how to create and use a Punnett Square in order to complete this activity. Plan on the activity taking 75-90 minutes to complete, as it will probably require you to do a few example rounds that may be challenging for some students to grasp at first. There is some set up required for this activity to work.
*Teacher Tip* You may wish to substitute page protectors for laminations for this activity.
