Heredity Unit

We are beginning the 3rd trimester, and will time fly now! We are studying Heredity for the next 3 weeks. We are learning about how traits are passed from parents to children. Your student should have surveyed your family and extended family in order to see what traits are more common in your family. We are working on an activity called the Great Gene Shuffle in which we pass our traits down to fictitious children and grandchildren. We will learn about adaptations in nature and natural selection to finish out our unit. The Heredity test will be on March 19 after we return from Spring Break.
