Welcome to the New Year! We only have a little over a month until our Invent Idaho/ Science Fair. I will be working closely with you to ensure you are successful with this Project, which is worth 10% of your total grade. The last day of the 1st semester is Jan. 22; at that time I will assess your progress on your project. So the homework and DUE dates are as follows:
Tuesday, Jan. 5: Apply the "Take a Class Survey" we did in class and use it with your family (and aunts, uncles, grandparents if possible). Make sure to complete the following:
- Label your homework on a sheet of paper with the heading "Take a Family Survey".
- Recreate the Data Table from today's activity and complete it using traits from your family.
- Describe your findings of three of the traits from your family. Did you find primarily traits from recessive or dominant alleles?
Friday, Jan. 8: Complete Section 2: Probability and Genetics Review Questions, 1-5 (pg. 99).
Have a great week,
-Mr. Pfiester
