Create-a-Baby Genetics Lab — Coin-Flip Mendelian Inheritance Sim
This lab brings the laws of probability and heredity to life. By using a coin flip to represent the random "shuffle" of genes during fertilization, you are simulating how every human becomes a unique individual. Activity DescriptionThe Create-a-Baby Lab is a hands-on simulation of Mendelian Inheritance. In this model, each "parent" (student) carries a set of alleles. The coin flip represents Segregation—the biological process where a parent passes on only one of their two alleles to their off

Genetics Traits Survey Lab — Collect Class Data on Inheritance
This lab turns the classroom into a biological "sampling site," allowing students to see how invisible genetic codes manifest as visible physical diversity within a community. Activity DescriptionThe Genetics Traits Survey is a data-collection lab that bridges the gap between individual genetics and population biology. By surveying traits like "Widow’s Peak" or "Attached Earlobes," students move from anecdotal observations ("My mom has dimples") to statistical realities. This activity highligh

The Million Dollar Inheritance
This highly engaging activity gives students hands on experience with personal financial planning and budgeting. Students work to spend a one million dollar inheritance in the most effective way possible but, just like everything in life, there are rules in how the money can be spent. This project is great for individuals, partners and groups. I also works for students who need additional supports as well as those needing enrichment. As well as providing valuable practice with internet resea

Million Dollar Project
This million dollar project is aimed to generate discussion about money and real world scenarios. Students will fill out different parts of an "inheritance contract" that guide students through understanding the value of money and how far it can go. This project is formatted to look like a notarized contract where students have to sign off that they have checked each page of the contract. The project can be adjusted based on the needs of the students or how in depth a teacher wants to go into t

Punnett Square Genetics Lab — Probability & Dominant/Recessive Traits
This activity introduces the fundamentals of Mendelian genetics, using the laws of probability to explain why siblings can look different even though they have the same parents. Activity DescriptionThe Genetics: Inheritance and Punnett Squares lab uses a "coin-flip" simulation to model the random segregation of alleles. By assigning a dominant trait (Heads/T) and a recessive trait (Tails/t), students simulate the process of meiosis (where parents contribute only one allele) and fertilization

Flatland Worksheet
Help students understand the 'rules' of Flatland a bit better with this worksheet. I use this before watching the movie with students to review the differences between dimensions, as well as discuss what is meant by a "regular" or "irregular" shape. Also included is a list of shapes that appear in Flatland along with descriptions to help students understand the 'Law of Inheritance'. Answers included.

Newspaper Math Real-World Activities
We use numbers on a daily basis in almost all aspects of our lives. Think about it! We shop, cook, travel and work with numbers; therefore, numbers can be incorporated into every activity that we do. Newspapers offers students the opportunity to use math and apply it to real-world applications. In addition, newspaper can be adaptable to all grade levels and interests.
By incorporating newspapers into the math curriculum, the students are allowed to take an active role in their own learning.
