Students will learn about pedigrees and genetics in a fun way. Students will use jelly beans to represents different variations of traits/genes to see how you can get a mixed of traits/genes through reproduction. Students should have background on reproduction, sex cells, and pedigrees. I would use this as a review activity for the unit.
PLAY DOH NEEDED TO DO ACTIVITY!Students will make a 3-D model of the muscle proteins (actin and myosin). They will then answer questions related to the muscle proteins and their functions. This activity goes great with the Amoeba Sisters Muscle Tissues and Sliding Filament Model Video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpxalWACO7k
