We looked at heredity this week.
We used three Gizmos from ExploreLearning.com. In two of them we bred mice. One Gizmo demonstrated one trait dominance and the second demonstrated two traits. It sure takes a lot less time to breed 100 mice using a simulation!
Then we used the simulation for chickens. We looked at incomplete dominance. Some students were surprised to learn that speckled chickens could have pure colored offspring. I guess that is why we cover that topic - there is always something to learn.
Here's hoping that you find all of the hidden Easter eggs.
