Description

Get your students engaged and laughing while reviewing genetics with this no prep Genetics and Inheritance Review Game! Students become official fact-checkers of the social media science influencer Biology_Bro, whose genetics “facts” have gone off the rails. The mission? Stop genetics misinformation before it spreads across the internet!

 

This highly engaging resource transforms traditional genetics review into a fun classroom game that promotes critical thinking, discussion, and accurate use of genetics vocabulary. Students analyze thirty genetics statements (instagram posts), determine if they are true or false, and fix misconceptions using evidence and correct terminology.

 

Perfect for:

  • Genetics unit review
  • Biology test prep
  • End-of-year review activities
  • Sub plans and absent student work
  • Cooperative learning and stations

 

The fact-checking format pushes students beyond simple memorization and requires deeper thinking about genetics concepts. Instead of just recalling facts, students must critically analyze statements, identify misconceptions, and evaluate each part of a claim to determine what is accurate and what needs correction.

 

Three Ways to Use This Resource:

 

1. Whole-Class Digital Genetics and Inheritance Review Game

Turn review day into a competitive team challenge! Students work in teams and act as Biology_Bro’s official fact-checkers. The Google Slide set includes game play instructions and thirty Biology_Bro instagram posts, written in teen slang, just for fun.

 

Some posts are true, but most are incorrect in some way. Teams take turns with Biology_Bro’s statements – earning points for correcting false posts, and using strategy cards (Skip, Steal, and Challenge) to outsmart other teams! The game format keeps students actively participating while reviewing important genetics concepts.

 

2. Genetics Task Cards

The same Biology_Bro posts can be printed as task cards. Use task cards for stations, partner work, small groups, independent practice, or review centers. Students sort statements into True and False categories and explain or correct misconceptions.

 

3. Genetics Review Worksheets

Perfect for independent work, homework, or a make-up assignment. Two worksheet versions are included:

  • Original Biology_Bro social-media style language
  • Traditional academic wording version

 

Full KEY included!

 

100% Editable!
