Mrs. Becker's HS Biology Meiosis App

Mrs. Becker brought iPads into her high school Biology classroom this week using the app Meiosis.  I bet the students had a blast!  
Here is what she said about the lesson:

"Went well...kids were engaged.  It was an interactive lesson on "meiosis" of forming of gametes/ sex cells (sperm and egg).  ALWAYS enlightening to teach to HS kids.  Wrap up of our unit on genetics.  App creates mythical "Snurfles" by creating their gametes.  From that point on, it leads into Punnett Squares, using the gametes that were created in the lesson.  They use the interactive squares to predict the offspring. Teaches a lot of key concepts of genetics.  Handout that tracks their progress.  Answer questions along the way.  Interactive quiz questions throughout and "game" at end to check for understanding."
