Good webquest reinforcement for Punnett squares that I used with my 7th grade science classes they enjoyed the online simulation creating an animal using random punnett squares.
Part 1 Is a vocabulary review, they simply lookup the terms and write the definition.
Part 2 They use a website to create an animal using punnett squares.
Part 3 They have to select different flies for the correct parents using the prompt provided, then looking at the possible offspring and provide percentages of potential offspring for Homozygous or Heterozygous offspring.
Part 4 Is a simple online quiz on the probability of inheritance.
Links are provided on the paper, however I had to post the links on my website since they wouldn't open on my school's chromebooks directly from the paper.
There is no answer key since most students answers will vary.
2 pages and took my 7th graders 50-60min to complete
Here are the links to make sure they are working
(please tell me if the links no longer work, thanks)
