Biology I Honors

Our Biology students dive into their final sprout counts as they wrap up a months‑long, hands‑on genetics investigation. After engineering a self‑watering light‑box system in the classroom, they cultivated the F1 generation of Wisconsin Fast Plants, harvested the F2 offspring, and analyzed the ratio of dominant to recessive traits that appeared in the sprouts. By comparing their real data to Mendel’s famous 3:1 pattern, students brought the science of heredity to life through authentic, student‑driven experimentation.
