The lesson plan aims to teach students about genotypic variation and phenotypic diversity through a Punnett square activity. Students will first complete a family history worksheet for homework to understand common traits from parents. The next day, the teacher will give a PowerPoint lecture explaining genetics concepts like Mendelian inheritance and use of Punnett squares. Students will have guided practice with a worksheet during the lesson and their understanding will be assessed through extra credit questions and a five minute quiz at the end to predict probabilities and ratios from Punnett squares.

S4.C2.PO3: Explain how genotypic variation occurs and results in phenotypic diversity. Objective: SWBAT create a Punnett Square and predict the probability of phenotypic and genotypic ratios the offspring by having a timed quiz of five minutes. Set: The students will have homework the night before that will demonstrate their personal family history. This family history worksheet will assist their understanding by listing the common characteristic they have from their parents. From determining these common characteristics students will be intrigued to learn genetics due to homework from the night before. Information: T will use a PowerPoint demonstration to teach Genetics: Genotype Phenotype Gregor Mendel Probability/Statistical Ratios Punnett Squares Model: There will be a PowerPoint Lecture including an introduction video of Genetics, during which leads into a guided worksheet. Check for Understanding: Teacher will be asking extra credit questions for understanding during lecture. Students will answer to receive an extra credit. Guided Practice: A guided worksheet allows students to check their understanding and ask for help when needed. Students will complete worksheet and ask for help when needed. Closure: Teacher will give students a quick review to remind them major subject points. Independent Practice: Students will take a timed quiz within five minutes to determine their understanding of subject material. QUIZ ON probability ratios, genotypes-phenotypes and Punnett Squares.
