    • I can define inheritance, genes, and alleles
    • I can define dominant and recessive
    • I can construct a Punnett square
    • I can identify different types of variation
    • I can recall the letters and names of the DNA bases and the structure of DNA


    Activities:

    • Lab safety recap
    • Discussing why we don't look like copies of either of our parents
    • Drawing Punnett squares
    • Drawing and labelling a DNA strand 
    • Worksheet on "famous NZ scientist - Maurice Wilkins" on Google classroom
    • Measuring variation in the classroom
