Abstract:
Tired of teaching genetic concepts with the same old pink petunias and Mendel's peas? With Garden Genetics, you can present core content in ways that are fun for students and fresh for you. This two-part set-a teacher edition and companion student edition-uses a series of activities and inquiry-based experiments with familiar foods to teach genetics while helping students make connections to ecology, evolution, plant biology, and even social science.
