In this guided-inquiry activity, students plant and score Wisconsin Fast Plants® to explore genetic inheritance. They study dominant and recessive traits and observe the results of monohybrid crosses. Students then are challenged to design an experiment and perform a dihybrid cross to determine which version of 2 traits is dominant. Materials are sufficient for 30 students working in groups of 3.

Overview

In this guided-inquiry activity, introduce students to genetic inheritance using Wisconsin Fast Plants®. Students first plant and score Wisconsin Fast Plants® to examine phenotypes of the parental generation and 2 generations of offspring. They then explain their findings to understand concepts of dominant and recessive traits and inheritance of phenotypes. Students next design and conduct an experiment and perform dihybrid crosses to determine which leaf color and stem color are the dominant and recessive forms. Materials are sufficient for 30 students working in groups of 3.

Inquiries in Science® Series Kits


Inquiries in Science Series

Inquiries in Science® Series Kits

Inquiries in Science® is our exclusive series of hands-on kits specifically designed to help high school students understand abstract, hard-to-grasp science concepts. The series tracks well with most textbooks, and kit topics reflect state science standards and extensive educator input. Since Inquiries in Science® is modular, you can use the kits individually, as a strand, or as a series to teach biology, chemistry, and environmental science.


Improve Student Achievement

Field-tested in classrooms nationwide, Inquiries in Science® employs guided inquiry based on the 5E learning cycle of engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate. This inquiry-based approach also promotes STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) practices. It enables students to:

  • Consider a real-world question or problem
  • Plan and conduct an investigation and gather data
  • Understand the science concept by analyzing data and communicating findings
  • Apply their findings to the original real-world question or problem and master the science concept

Inquiries in Science® helps students build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, and encourages creativity, collaboration, and teamwork. It creates an environment in which you and your students work together as active learners.

Disciplines and topics addressed by the kits were organized and selected based on data from numerous sources, including the National Research Council's National Science Education Standards, AAAS's Project 2061 Science Benchmarks, NAEP's Science Framework, and state science education standards from across the US. In addition, the Inquiries in Science® content and activities reflect the science practices and engineering practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts outlined by the National Research Council's A Framework for K–12 Science Education (2011) and the Next Generation Science Standards (2013).
