Genotype and Phenotype – Lab Station Activity

Genotype and Phenotype Lab Station Activity

This fully editable teaching resource for high school biology students focuses on concepts related to Genotypes and Phenotypes. These include:

• Dominance
• Co-dominance
• Incomplete dominance
• Single gene inheritance
• Punnett squares
• Sex linkage.

The lab station activity comprises engaging reading assignments and questions that stimulate critical thinking. These can be performed individually or in small groups. The real-world relevance of the hands-on stations enhances the understanding of these biological concepts.

The Eight Unique Stations:

The teaching resource includes eight distinct stations that involve various tasks aimed at promoting independent thinking over mere memorization.

To give an example,

"The Get Hands-On station" requires students to draw or build something based on their knowledge, while "The Research" station has them using digital tools for further study. Other stations entail articulating opinions in writing on subject-related issues or developing multiple-choice and short-answer questions.

Bonus Activities:

Apart from the main tasks, we also provide two bonus activities: a word scramble and a word search. These serve as fillers during downtime between station transitions.

Ease of Preparation for Instructors:

All it takes is printing out cards and arranging them around your classroom. Where necessary, an answer key is provided making it easy for educators to assess student's performance. In Summary,
