Excellent Review! New Insights Into Teaching!
I found this Science Object to be an excellent review of Mendelian genetics, even if you are already well-versed in the topic. Not only did it review the topic, but it explained some concepts in a language and phrasing that my students would understand. This gave me new insights into teaching these concepts. I have my "standard" way that I teach Mendelian genetics, however, I always have a handful of students who fail to grasp the concept. This Science Object presented the information in a way that those students will hopefully understand better. I plan to model my teaching/reteaching of this topic around the format of this "S.O." in order to better help my students. In addition, I loved the interactive portions of the S.O. and wish I knew where they came from/if they are available to teachers because I would love to use them in my freshmen biology courses.
