The 7th grade class was working on Genetics in their Science class with Mrs. Porth. They had to do a project with two days to work on it. In their project they had two parts. One part was getting an egg with all 9 different traits. With that, they had to configure the given alleles.
They had five different types, genotype, phenotype, homozygous, heterozygous, and dominate. After they figured out the alleles they had to construct the traits into a dragon with the given phenotypes.
They had to draw the dragon on a piece of paper with a creative background. Mrs. Porth learned about the idea from Mr. Saffer who had seen this done before.
