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.
Activity Timing:
In its most basic form, this activity will take the average student 30 minutes.
