5/9 & 5/10 Portfolio problems

The first half of class was spent working on adding three traits to our blue "Genetics & Identity" portfolios.  Portfolios will ultimately contain the following items:

1.    Cover Page: Title & Name

2.    Genetics Unit Road Map

3.  Genetics vocabulary foldable

4.    I am…  poem

5.    Make your own Punnett square: Complete dominance  

6.  Make your own Punnett square: Co-dominance

7.  Make your own Punnett square: Incomplete dominance

8.  Make your own Punnett square: Polygenetic inheritance

9.  Continuum: a personal narrative

10. Final reflection on video project

Here is a list of possible traits to choose from for your Punnett Square problems: List of genetic traits by inheritance pattern

In class, we worked on #'s 5, 6, & 7.  Students got a checklist for what to include for each trait problem with grading rubric:
Simple/Complete dominance portfolio entry
Codominance portfolio entry
Incomplete dominance portfolio entry

Students were able to start these in class, but are expected to finish the entries for homework. We will do a lot of trouble shooting in class this week. The extent to what students can find out may vary depending on what family members we have access to. There are lots of options for this project, so just let us know if you hit any roadblocks!

Still have questions? Here is an example of how this might look:
