The presence and absence of pelvic spines in stickleback fish serves as a compelling storyline of genetics and gene regulation. In this workshop, participants will investigate free, classroom-ready BioInteractive resources including a short film, a Phenomenal Image, and classroom activities related to this phenomenon. Using best practices, we will explore strategies to engage students in interpreting patterns of inheritance through genetic cross analysis and in developing and using models of gene regulation. We will also engage as educators in exploring literacy strategies, science practice implementation strategies, and reflection practices.

Facilitators
