Presentation transcript:

Baby on the Way

You are going to have a new baby brother or sister!  You will write a letter (or comic strip) addressed to your parents.  In it, you will review the inherited traits each of your parents has, and you will try to persuade your parents that your little brother or sister will have certain specific inherited traits. (eye color, hair color, skin color, height)  Use your knowledge of Punnett squares and dominant and recessive traits to help support your explanation.

 Once you have explained the inherited traits, consider possible learned behaviors the sibling may learn from the parents.

Be sure to include in your letter/comic:  Examples of the inherited traits the parents have  How it is possible for the new sibling to have traits from the parents (dominant and recessive traits, punnett squares)  Possible learned behaviors the sibling may learn from the parents  TURN YOUR LETTER/COMIC IN BY THE END OF SCIENCE
