Hi there, 7th graders!

Today we are going to build on our genetics understanding and learn how to use Punnett squares to make predictions.  

Task 1:

Print this fill-in-the-blank note-catcher.  If you can't print, that's ok!  You can make your own note-catcher on any sheet of paper (like the picture below shows).
