Background Information

In this week's activities, we will explore genetics through the use of a virtual breeding simulation.  You will be breeding fire-breathing dragons.  After you have completed the simulation we will be checking our understanding by completing a review of the simulation using Class Blogmeister.

Activity One:
  1. Click on the link to the Dragon Genetics Simulation below.
  2. Click to enter the lab.
  3. Follow all the directions you find there until you complete the exercise. (Relax if you don't get it the first time, this may take a few days to complete and a few more days to fully understand.)
Activity Two:

  1. Click on the link to our class blog in Class Blogmeister.
  2. Complete an Internet Activity Review as before.
  3. Make sure you give your new blog entry a new title: "GHGL's Review of the Dragon Genetics Simulation.
