Instructions for using this template. Remember this is Jeopardy, so where I have written “Answer” this is the prompt the students will see, and where I have “Question” should be the student’s response. To enter your questions and answers, click once on the text on the slide, then highlight and just type over what’s there to replace it. If you hit Delete or Backspace, it sometimes makes the text box disappear. When clicking on the slide to move to the next appropriate slide, be sure you see the hand, not the arrow. (If you put your cursor over a text box, it will be an arrow and WILL NOT take you to the right location.)
Choose a category. You will be given the answer. You must give the correct question. Click to begin.

Father of genetics
Mendel
Likelihood that something will happen
Probability
One reason Mendel studied pea plants
Simple, contrasting traits, many offspring, short life cycle
Cross between a red and white flowers produce pink flowers
Incomplete dominance
Black bird and white bird produce black/white spotted offspring
Codominance

The mother of Genetics
Mrs. Mendel (why is this answer wrong?)
