An Inventory of My Traits

Summary:

Students take an inventory of their own easily-observable genetic traits. Working in small groups they observe how their trait inventories differ from those of others. Students record their observations in a data table and make a bar graph to show the most common traits in a group. This activity can also be done with a students family members if they are working independent of a group of students.
