Lab for Punnet Squares. I used small white cardboard boxes that are approximately 2"x2"x2" from The Container Store in Atlanta and pipe cleaner pieces inside. This way they can be used year after year.
The set up is here.
purple x purple = (PP x PP)= all (PP) or purple possibilities
purple x pink = (PP x pp)= all (Pp) or orange possibilities
pink x pink = (pp x pp)= all (pp) or pink possibilities
orange x orange = (Pp x Pp)= 1 purple (PP), 2 orange (Pp) and 1 pink (pp)
orange x purple = (Pp x PP)= 2 purple (PP) and 2 orange (Pp)
orange x pink = (Pp x pp)= 2 orange (Pp) and 2 pink (pp)
blue x blue = (BB x BB) = all (BB) or blue possibilities
blue x yellow = (BB x bb) = all (Bb) or green possibilities
blue x green = (BB x Bb) = 2 blue (BB) and 2 Green (Bb)
yellow x yellow = (bb x bb) = all yellow (bb) possibilities
green x yellow = (Bb x bb) = 2 green (Bb) and 2 yellow (bb)
green x green = (Bb x Bb) = 1 Blue (BB), 2 Green (Bb), and 1 yellow (bb)

Box Genetis Lab |
|
This uses DNA kits from Wards to create DNA ladders.
|
DNA Model Lab |
|
This uses craft supplies to create zipper pulls. The students use the letters from their first name. Each letter is a specific codon (group of 3 nucleotides). It is a lot of fun and the kids learn alot.
