Description
Make genetics come alive with this engaging, hands-on lab activity!
This Genetics Lab Activity allows students to simulate genetic inheritance using coins or beads while exploring probability and Punnett Squares. Students collect real data and compare it to expected genetic ratios.
π¦ Whatβs Included:
β Complete hands-on lab activity
β Step-by-step student instructions
β Coin/bead simulation (no prep required)
β Data collection table (20 trials)
β Analysis and reflection questions
π― Topics Covered:
- Genetic inheritance
- Punnett squares
- Probability
- Genotype ratios (1:2:1)
- Dominant & recessive traits
π©βπ« Perfect For:
- Biology labs
- Interactive classroom activities
- Group work
- Homeschool science
π‘ Why Teachers Love This:
β No prep materials (just coins!)
β Highly engaging
β Real data collection
