Lesson Description
•The lesson has a duration of 7 to 9 days.
•The students were introduced with different types of
technology.
•The students had the opportunity to use different
software and hardware for their culminating activity, a
Power Point presentation.

•The purpose of the lesson is to introduce the students
with the types of inheritance that do not follow
Mendel’s laws.

Day one: The students had an opening activity which
consisted in walking around the classroom looking and
recording in a data table some inherited characteristics
among their peers. Next, I used a Power Point
presentation to introduce the lesson.
Day two: The students were introduced with the terms
incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles,
autosomes, and sex chromosomes. Next, the students
worked Punnet squares to predict the possible outcomes
when crossing individuals with the alleles for incomplete
dominance and codominance.

Next, students measure the height of the students in the
class in cm, recorded the information in a data table, and
plotted a graph with the information gathered.
Day four: I took the students to the library to do the lab
Web Karyotyping on the Internet.
Day five: The students played a genetic game on the
Internet to review what they had learned.

Day three: The students were introduced with more
information, including the term polygenic inheritance.

Day six: Students watched the video “The Spiral of
Silence” to learn how scientists use pedigree charts to
study inherited diseases in humans.
Day seven: Students took the test of the chapter.
Days eight and nine: Students had their culminating
activities, the Power Point presentations.

Grade Level: 9 to 12
Science: Biology/Life Science
Genetics 3. A multicellular organism develops from a
single zygote, and its phenotype depends on its genotype,
which is established at fertilization. As a basis for
understanding this concept, students know:
a. how to predict the probable outcome of phenotypes in
a genetic cross from the genotypes of the parents and
mode of inheritance (autosomal or X-linked, dominant or
recessive).

Instructional Objectives
2. Students will be able to describe the difference
between multiple alleles and polygenic inheritance.
3. Students will describe how internal and external
environments affect gene expression.
4. Students will interpret testcrosses and
pedigrees charts.

As expected, the difference on the results of pre-test and
the post-test for the high achievers was not very
notorious. The difference was more clear with the
average students, but specially with the low achievers.
The results were better with the activities than with the
tests. And since the Power Point presentation was the
culminating activity, the difference with the rest of the
grades is very obvious.

With this project my students had the opportunity to learn
Power Point (a few already knew), how to use a digital
camera (a few already knew), a scanner, an LCD
projector, a laptop, and had more access to the Internet.
The students were more involved in the learning process,
since they had to have a Power Point presentation ready
at the end of the chapter.
One thing that I need to do the next time is to help my
students edit their projects before presenting them.
