Description

This remote learning ready, interactive google slides lesson teaches students how to read the symbols and relationship lines on a pedigree chart. The lesson includes a vocabulary check in and optional, hyperlinked review. The order of activities is listed below.

1. Students review basic genetics vocabulary- gene vs. allele, genotype vs. phenotype, and homozygous vs. heterozygous.

2. Students self- assess their level of understanding of these vocabulary words. If students are struggling with them, an optional hyperlinked review slide gives them fun extra practice with three online games. (Memory match, a quizlet set, and a vortex game.)

3. Students learn the new word "carrier" and explain why carriers must always be heterozygous.

4. Students learn the symbols that are found on a pedigree chart, and immediately apply the new knowledge to associated questions

5. Students learn how relationships are represented on a pedigree chart, and immediately apply the new knowledge to a pedigree chart

6. Students apply their new knowledge of pedigree charts to a real life historic case. They read an article to learn that Charles II of Spain was the last of his line due to extensive health problems caused by inbreeding. Then, they examine his actual pedigree chart to determine how many of the marriages in his family before his birth were incestuous. This high interest, cross curricular activity gives students a lot of practice with genetics vocabulary and concepts as well as with pedigree charts.
