Inheritance of Coat Color in Labrador Retrievers has been the all time favorite project of my Biology students for over 10 years and I’m sure your students will love it, too! It’s a real-world scenario about inheritance patterns in one of America’s favorite dog breeds. Students will assume the role of a genetic counselor and use what they’ve learned about patterns of inheritance, Punnett squares, and Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment to advise two dog breeders who want more chocolate puppies. The concept of epistasis will also be introduced; a topic most students don’t learn until AP Biology. This download includes 9 files: 1. Read This First includes project overview, terms of use, and image credits. 2. Teacher’s Guide with complete explanation of the project and the solution. 3. Genetics Project Handouts for Students include 3 pages of instructions and information needed to solve the breeder’s problem. 4. Project Task 1 introduces the epistatic pattern of inheritance and provides practice in interpreting and determining genotypes and phenotypes. 5. Answer Key to Project Task 1 6. Project Task 2 presents opportunities for students to draw and analyze Punnett Squares using two gene pairs. 7. Answer Key to Project Task 2 8. Adorable Labrador Retriever Pictures your can print for your students or post in your classroom. 9. Editable Project Rubric for grading student projects. I usually allow 1 ½ - 2 weeks from the time I introduce this performance task to students until the due date of the project. I like to use the last 15 minutes or so of 3 consecutive classes to introduce the project and give daily tasks to get students started. After that, they can usually run with it and put their presentations together. You can decide if you prefer students to work individually or in groups – it works well either way. I hope you enjoy this project as much as I do!

Before the television -- and before the MagicEye and the Viewmaster -- Victorians had the stereoscope. A stereograph picture was made of two photographs, pasted side by side, which had been taken from two nearly, but not exactly, the same perspective. The stereoscopic viewer brought the eye to focus on the two pictures as one, aping natural binocular vision which presents objects to our brain in three dimensions. An artist can draw an object as he sees it, looking at it only with his right eye. Then he can draw a second view of the same object as he sees it with his left eye. It will not be hard to draw a cube or an octahedron in this way ; indeed, the first stereoscopic figures were pairs of outlines, right and left, of solid bodies, thus drawn. But the minute details of a portrait, a group, or a landscape, all so nearly alike to the two eyes, yet not identical in each picture of our natural double view, would defy any human skill to reproduce them exactly. And just here comes in the photograph to meet the difficulty. A first picture of an object is taken,--then the instrument is moved a couple of inches or a little more, the distance between the human eyes, and a second picture is taken. Better than this, two pictures are taken at once in a double camera. (From Oliver Wendell Holmes' Atlantic Monthly article in 1859.) Stereographs brought the exotic and remote into the home. If one traveled, souvenir pictures could be bought at bookstores and kiosks. Natural disasters, foreign landmarks, strange cultures became immediate experiences through this precursor of the newsreel. The above view of Japan is an example of the handcoloured stereograph. It entertained, with scenes of dramatic characters. This is a model dressed as the comic Lord Dundreary from the hugely popular play Our American Cousin (1858). It also catered to the adult male viewer. The stereoscope was even more popular in middle-class Victorian homes than the parlour piano. It was an educational tool, a source of entertainment, a window on the larger world. One historian estimates the number of sterescopic photos made between 1860 and 1890 as upwards of 400 million (see Michael J. Murphy in St. James's Encyclopedia of Pop Culture online). Some websites where you can learn more about the stereoscope and stereographic views are: Michael Murphy's online article; the Central Pacific Railroad Photograph History Museum link; Rick Saunders' website; and the Library of Congress online collection.

"The middle class is being hollowed out," says James Altucher. "Economists are shifting their attention toward a crisis in the United States: the significant increase in income inequality," reports the New York Times. Think all those job losses over the last five years were just caused by the recession? No: "Most of the jobs will never return, and millions more are likely to vanish as well, say experts who study the labor market," according to an AP report on how technology is killing middle-class jobs. When I was growing up in Canada, I was taught that income distribution should and did look like a bell curve, with the middle class being the bulge in the middle. Oh, how naïve my teachers were. This is how income distribution looks in America today:

Spherification is a cool technique that kids can use to transform liquids (Hot sauce! Cranberry juice!) into solid, edible spheres. Channel your inner chef and turn almost any liquid into squishy, flavorful spheres, from fruit juice to hot sauce to chocolate syrup and more. To make our edible spheres, we rely on the power of gelatin, which also gives desserts, such as Jell-O and panna cotta, their solid, slightly jiggly textures. When gelatin is hot, it’s a liquid, and when it’s cold, it’s a solid. We start by dissolving powdered gelatin into a hot liquid, such as fruit juice. Then, we drip the warm gelatin mixture into a container of cold oil to instantly create tiny, solid spheres. To help kids understand these key temperature-related changes, have them stir together an additional 1 teaspoon gelatin and ¼ cup cold water. What does the mixture look like? How does it compare to the mixture in step 4 of this recipe? Mixing gelatin with a cold liquid leaves you with a chunky, undissolved mixture that won’t be able to form smooth spheres.
