Traits Inventory Lab

Traits Inventory Lab Activity

$2.60

Introduce traits in your next heredity unit with this engaging TRAIT TRACKER INVENTORY LAB.

Description

Introduce traits in your next heredity unit with this engaging TRAIT TRACKER INVENTORY LAB. This 3-page lab begins with an introduction to dominant and recessive traits. Students will research 12 traits to determine if they are dominant/recessive. Students will record traits that they possess and compare those traits with their classmates to complete a class inventory sheet. (Note: There is some basic math involved, but I have included formulas for a quick calculated answer.)

The lab ends with an analysis that will spark questions and conversation amongst your students. My favorite part of this lab is that students ALWAYS have tons of questions about traits and dominance and this provides a great segue into my Intro to Heredity lesson (which I am also including in this resource).

What’s Included:

★Trait Tracker Page

★Class Inventory Data Page

★Activity Analysis Questions

★Bonus: Introduction to Heredity Lesson

A few years ago, I researched “the spacing effect”- a psychological phenomenon where information is better retained through distributed practice over time. 🧠

After studying the effects it had on student retention, I knew I had to find a way to use it in my biology class.

I’ve been using spiral reviews for four years now and the results have been amazing!

So amazing, that I want to share it with all of my bio teacher friends!

Today, on the blog, I’m sharing the spiral reviews that I use for test prep along with the details on how I implement them for maximum success.

My Biology students always get genetic drift confused with natural selection when discussing mechanism of evolution.

To help them distinguish between the two phenomena, I had them simulate genetic drift using craft beads and a dice.

This really helped my students visualize the effects of genetic drift on small populations.

Do I bribe my students? Of course I do! 😉

When I have to be absent, I expect my students to be on their BEST behavior.

To ensure that they follow through on that expectation, I offer a little bribery…. I mean….. incentive 😁

I leave a sub report card that allows the substitute to rate each class. Classes receiving an A+ get rewarded with tickets 🎟️

I have received so many compliments from my subs since I started implementing this system. To get this free sub report card, head over to my blog:

Over the years, I have implemented several systems and procedures that have helped make my “teacher life” easier.

One of those procedures are these absent trays.

When students are absent, I write their names in any worksheets that I handed out that day and put them in these absent drawer (organized by class period).

Students know that the procedures for getting make up work after an absence are as follows:
✅ Check Google Classroom
✅ Check the absent drawer (pictured here)

This ensures consistency throughout the year and students never have to wonder what we did in class during their absence.

GAME. CHANGER. 👏

To practice crime scene sketches in Forensics, I threw 350 playing cards all over my classroom! (Those that know me, know that this made my OCD kick in to overdrive.)

Students were given a list of 8 playing card (aka: evidence) to find. Once they found their evidence, they had to mark it on their crime scene sketches.

Of course, I made them clean up the cards after the activity. 😉

I have a free download for this activity (It’s called One Eyed Jack) over on my blog.

We are finally in our evolution unit and we’re getting things started with a lesson on natural selection.

To introduce this concept, students participated in an activity called FEEDING FRENZY.

Basically, students pretended to be worms looking for food (aka: colored yarn).

It was the perfect segue into our lesson!
