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.

My Pedigrees Lesson Bundle includes:

  • Student Google Slides Activities: 22 slides of engaging activities, including:
    • animated slides of how pedigrees work
    • 7 practice problems
    • a video and questions on how pedigrees link to Punnett Squares
    • a brief recap of sex-linked inheritance
  • Answer Slides: animated for going through with the whole class, or you can set them on Google Classroom for students to check and correct their own work
  • Google Forms Quiz: a self-grading 15 point quiz to let you easily check student progress, including two pedigree chart images to support questions
  • Doodle Notes: 4 pages of engaging Doodle Notes, perfect for reviewing content – there are 4 versions, including scaffolded and color & answer key presentation
  • Teacher Guidance: how to assign and use each resource

Pedigrees content covered:

  • The purpose of pedigrees
  • How to construct a pedigree
  • How to analyze a pedigree
  • Pedigrees and X-linked traits (these slides can easily be deleted if your students do not need to know about sex-linked traits).

Please note that the activities assume an understanding of heredity & Punnett Squares – if you have not yet taught this, please check out my Mendel and Punnett Squares Google Slides.
