Survival Games: An Fun, Adaptations-Based Challenge for the Evolution Unit
Explore the theory of evolution with your students as they create a creature that can survive a changing environment!Students will select from thirty two different adaptations, all with different survival perks, in order to design an organism that can (hopefully) survive drastic environment changes. In a Dungeons-and-Dragons-esque style, each adaptation provides points in certain categories of survival. My students become quickly enthralled with the challenge of picking just the right combinatio

Test My Genes Lab: Students Use Their Traits to Practice Punnett Squares - NGSS
In Brief: The lab proceeds as follows1. Students complete a short matching section using important genetics terms2. Students read about five different human traits (Interlacing of fingers, PTC tasting, Presence of Palmaris Longus Muscle, Hair Texture, and Color Vision)3. Students attempt to determine their genotpyes, based upon their phenotypes, and the information in the lab.4. Students perform Punnett Squares using their genotypes, in order to make predictions about future generationsA. NEXT
