Family Tree Science: Weekly Science Project Idea/Home Science Activity Spotlight

Do your hands have family traits? Science Buddies Hands-On Projects: Science and Engineering for school and for home
In this week's spotlight: a pair of projects in honor of Father's Day and the science of family traits. In these hands-on genetics projects and activities, students investigate a family pedigree to see if they can determine whether traits are dominant or recessive. Do you and some (or all) of your family members share certain physical traits? Is a widow's peak passed down from generation to generation? Find out!
