Description
A ready to use pedigrees lesson that your students will love!
This value bundle will help your students navigate the tricky topic of pedigrees. The interactive Google Slides start with an animated explanation of how pedigrees work. Students will then drag & drop pieces to construct a pedigree chart, before working through practice problems. This is a brilliant way for students to be active in their learning, and to cut down on lecture time.
Once students have completed the slides, the Doodle Notes are a perfect review activity. They can also be used for sub plans, homework assignments, and test prep.
Then you can use the Google Forms Quiz to easily check student progress – it is self-grading, so there is no extra work for you.
All answers are included, along with handy teacher guides so you know how to use these activities in your classroom.
