The Crazy Snowman Genetics Lab is an activity used to reinforce genetics vocab and the inheritance of traits. With simple coin tosses students discover how dominant and recessive traits work and get translated into crazy snowman phenotypes. Students will gain a deeper understanding of Punnett Squares, alleles, phenotypes, genotypes, traits, and more.

This was one of my first labs I ever created, and I've found that this lab has just the right combination of engagement, challenge, and fun. The snowmen come out completely ridiculous and my students can't believe the results.

This is intended for any 6th - 8th grade students who are studying DNA and genetics.

Included:

• teacher instructions
• Student lab copy
• Student reflection and vocabulary practice
• Answer key
• Bonus: Genetics Guided Cornell Notes & Answer key!
