My structured inquiry lesson was on inherited traits. My students were able to discover their own inherited traits and how common those traits were among the students in their class. The students are exploring their own inherited traits in pictures 1 and 2,so they could complete the activity sheet shown in picture 5. The students enjoyed observing who could roll their tongues or who had a hitchhiker’s thumb. The students had an opportunity to create a family tree using the description from a skit about a horse. They used a chart to organize the details about each horse in the skit (pictures 3 &6). After the students organized the information, they received a cut out that they needed to color. Once they colored their mystery horse the students needed describe the horse so that other could identify the name of the horse. The student than added their horse to the family tree chart on the board. The students needed to use logic to decide what the horse looked like and where the horse got its traits. I used an online program called Gizmos to assessment the students understanding of the lesson. Gizmo is a program that lets the students interactive with different situations at normally could happen in the classroom. In this case, the students were creating offspring of aliens.
