=Appendix B- Instructor Materials = Coin Toss Activity This activity is the focus activity for day one of lesson 3 in the genetics unit. This activity provides a way to capture the students’ attention and get them thinking about probability, a major topic in genetics. It should be on the board/ projector screen as the students enter the classroom. They should read over the instructions and begin working when the bell rings and everyone is in their seats.

Genetics Power Point This is the Power Point which I will use to teach the material for lesson 3 day 1. This is the part of the lesson where students will learn about probability, punnett squares, and predicting genetic inheritance for simple dominance traits.  List of possible Genetics Problems to Ask the Students While Using the Dry-Erase Kits Below is the list of all of the possible problems that I might ask the students to solve using the white boards. I would most likely display the problem on the board by writing it or put it on the projector and only show one at a time. Even though I have compiled a large list, I obviously would not use every problem. It will depend on the individual students which problems I think will benefit the class the most.

Adult Height Activity This activity is the focus activity for day two of lesson three. Students should start the activity as soon as they enter the classroom so that it does not take much class time. The intent is to put the students into the genetics mode so that they are ready to learn the important and challenging concepts that are part of day two of lesson three.
