Cells and Genetics—Genetics Lab Activities
Botheads Genetic Simulation—
Super Value Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Arouse curiosity and stimulate interest in genetics with this creative activity. What role do inherited characteristics play in the develop- ment of an organism’s physical appearance? Students select a random set of gene cards (the genotype) and then use these cards and basic genetic principles to design and color their own personal “Bothead” (the phenotype). Next, students “cross-breed” their “bot” with another student in the class to create, draw and color a “hybrid bot.” Students have fun while learning about alleles, dominant and recessive traits, as well as the effect of mutations. Use this low-cost kit as an introduction to genetics or as a culminating review.
Super Value Kit is complete for 30 students working in pairs. All materials are reusable.
Baby Genes—Super Value Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Why do some children look so much like their
parents and others do not? Students randomly select a sperm cell and an egg for a potential child. When the simulated fertilization occurs, the resulting baby is compared to its parents. A second child is similarly formed, and the two children from the same parents are compared. Students will be amazed how different the two children are from each other and from their parents. This simulation will make “real-life” genetic appearances more logical.
Super Value Kit is complete for 30 students working in pairs. All materials are reusable.
