Description
Students learn how to read and use genetic Pedigrees in a student – led, no prep lesson. The 36 interactive Google Slides guide students through concepts step by step, using drag and drop practice, visual learning, and built in critical thinking.
No direct instruction needed! Allowing you to walk around the classroom and check in on students, giving them one-on-one help!
Students work individually or with a partner to complete the interactive Google Slides while also filling out 4 pages of guided student notes. These aren’t simple fill-in-the-blank notes. Students must process and apply information from the slides to build real understanding.
