Description
This remote learning ready, interactive Google Slides lesson is designed to empower students to master the art of interpreting symbols and relationship lines on a pedigree chart. The lesson provides a structured and engaging approach to ensure that students construct their own understanding of this complex genetic tool.
The lesson unfolds with a thorough review of fundamental genetics vocabulary, including key concepts like gene vs. allele, genotype vs. phenotype, and homozygous vs. heterozygous. Students have the opportunity to gauge their comprehension levels through a self-assessment, followed by an optional hyperlinked review for those seeking additional reinforcement. This includes interactive online games for an enjoyable practice experience. The exploration continues with the introduction of the term "carrier" and a deep dive into why carriers must always possess heterozygous traits.
Students then delve into the world of pedigree charts, learning the symbols and promptly applying their newfound knowledge to related questions. The lesson seamlessly progresses to the representation of relationships on a pedigree chart, ensuring a comprehensive grasp of this vital tool.
In a captivating real-life application, students examine the historic case of Charles II of Spain, unraveling the genetic factors that contributed to the end of his lineage. This cross-curricular activity provides a high-interest context for students to apply their genetics vocabulary and pedigree chart interpretation skills.
