Did you know that you share half of your genes with each of your biological parents? This is why you look similar to them and your siblings. In this activity you will model how traits are passed on from one generation to the next by creating cute alien babies. Written instructions as well as the genotype and phenotype tables are available on our website at https://www.sciencebuddies.org/stem-activities/alien-genetics?ytid=jzdC6PnuFKU&ytsrc=description or…
Learn about the importance of iteration and failure in the engineering design process. Your design might not work perfectly on the first try, and that's OK!
