Crazy Traits

What role does chance play in an organism's heredity?

Students learning heredity

Crazy Traits is a fun and innovative manipulative to help your students learn about genetics and evolution. Through a series of games and activities, they learn that the traits people and animals inherit from their parents are based on chance. Additionally, the concepts surrounding traits, alleles, genotypes, and phenotypes are also explored. Students flip special coins that are used to represent each parent, record their results and build a "Crazy Traits" creature based on their results. Special “Environment Cards” add to the excitement as with additional activities that allow them to explore how the environment influences the traits in a population.
