 =WELCOME TO FANTASTIC FLOUR BABIES! = 
 * Tenth grade Advanced Biology students are participating in a Genetics project to enhance their studies of Inheritance and Chromosomes.

Hope you enjoy the Advanced Biology Flour Babies Wikispace!

Students determined the genotypes and phenotypes of various traits for their flour babies, as well as the sex of their "child". The handouts were filled in using the laws of probability. We expressed this with two coins, one representing the male and one representing the female. All traits were determined using the coins: heads represented the dominant allele, while tails represented the recessive allele for each trait. Once the traits and sex of the flour babies were determined, students created facial features based on their results, and drew them using Microsoft Word. Students reviewed their understanding of genetics by completing monohybrid crosses using Punnett Squares. They also wrote biographies of their children, journals of the flour babies' daily activities, and made collages to hang in the classroom.

I created a page for each flour family, listed to the left. Students were required to edit the page for their flour baby and include their journals, biographies, and pictures of the flour babies in action!
