Punnett Squares Practice Worksheet
- Zip
What educators are saying
Description
This is a worksheet I used with my 7th graders during a Genetics unit. We had just gone over probability and Punnett Squares. This was the first practice that they had to do on their own. Background knowledge required. The worksheet consists of filling in Punnett squares and using them to determine the probabilities of different traits. There are 5 problems and 2 conclusion questions.
This worksheet also comes with the bundle "Probability in Genetics PPT w/ Notes and Punnett Worksheet" if you are looking for a full lesson rather than just the worksheet.
In my opinion, this product could be used to support the teaching of Next Generation Science Standard MS-LS3-2** when used in conjunction with other materials. To be clear - this is not a comprehensive guide to the standard but I believe it could be used to start students on the path to mastering it. The standard states:
"Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on using models such as Punnett squares, diagrams, and simulations to describe the cause and effect relationship of gene transmission from parent(s) to offspring and resulting genetic variation.]"
