Fast Plants: Dihybrid Genetics and Probability
The lesson targets high school students. It aims to impart a solid understanding of genetics and probability through hands-on activities featuring Wisconsin Fast Plants. Covering an introduction to Dihybird crosses, Mendelian principles, Punnett Squares, and a hands-on Fast Plant activity. The driving question explores applying genetics and probability to predict dihybrid offspring traits using Punnett squares.

In part 1 of this lesson students will Use the Laws of heredity to create a dragon based on the random toss of a coin. A chart has been created to assign genotypes and the corresponding phenotypes for
Students will begin the year working with a hydroponics system to observe plant growth. To start the students will be given a seedling and determine what the plant is as it goes through the life cycle
The basics of natural selection will be highlighted using the Natural Selection PhET simulation where students complete a series of challenges. As a result of this experience, students will be able to
