Who knew students in the early elementary grades could do a lesson in genetics! This lesson plan makes it possible with a graphic organizer, vocabulary list, and ideas to extend the idea of genes and our different inherited traits. I would love to use this lesson to start a discussion about how everyone is different and how we should celebrate those differences. Name-calling and making-fun is often an issue in elementary school, so this lesson could be a great way to talk about accepting all of our differences as humans.
