Warm-up:

Think back to the past month. What did you learn? Explain at least 3 scientific concepts to your parents. Which concept did you find most difficult and why? What would have helped you learn this topic better? Which science day did you like the most, and why?

Classwork:

Create own questions for heredity that varies in difficulty and in concept. Justify/reflect on why your question is easy, medium, or hard. Create answer key. Switch with 1 other pair to answer their question.

Homework: get your warm-up signed over the weekend!

Classwork:

1. go over "paper clip" game using the dry erase "boards"
2. *Challenge* Questions (trade these in for VIP tickets tomorrow!)
  1.What are the possibilities of the parents if offspring is homozygous brown hair? 2.What are the possibilities of the parents if the offspring is a homozygous blond hair? 3.What are the possibilities of the parents if the offspring is heterozygous brown hair? 4.How can you ensure you will pass on a specific trait to your offspring?
