My Paper Pet Family.

   In science class with Mrs. Poole, my class and I have recently been studying genetics, traits, and characteristics. We worked with Punnett squares, pennies, and lots of charts just to figure out possibilities that could be inherited. At first, my mind was buzzing. Our craft tools were set upon the table in a box. There were scissors, pennies, and tape. We were making a family! Out of some paper! Woohoo! There we lots of different ways that your family could look like. Some had square eyes. some had circle. Some had round eyes and some had square. Some had square teeth, and some had pointed. There were many different ways "characterize" you family... just you had to use a penny. Let's say T is for tall and t is for short. Heads is dominant and tails is recessive, you flip a heads then another heads. So you end up with  TT which meant your child would be quite tall.
     I learned a lot from this experiment and honestly it helped me. I think future students would really enjoy doing this just as much as I did! Now I know about genetics, genes, and traits!!!
