I hope everyone had a nice break! This week flew by as we only had 3 days together. On Wednesday, students were welcomed back with a review over the material they had learned about prior to the break. I was impressed with how much the students retained over the 2 weeks off. On Thursday, the 7th graders reenacted Gregor Mendel's experiments by crossing given genotypes to see what the outcome would be. Students completed a checkpoint on Friday. This inclass assignment was to make sure students felt comfortable and confident with the material in this unit so far. Students were able to utilize their textbook and notes for the checkpoint.
Next week, students will discover how to use a Punnett Square using their knowledge of Mendel to identify the types of offspring in a crossed pair.
