20min Chuck-Ken Survival Game. Draw your Chuck-Ken. Listen to the events/disasters that occur on your island. At the end of each round, fil in the arrow in green to show the Chuck-Ken survived to pass on its genes or fil in the 'X' in red to indicated it didn't survive. If your Chuck-Ken didn't survive you wil draw a new Chuck-Ken but without the trait that caused ti not to survive. If your Chuck-Ken survived, you do not need to redraw your Chuck-Ken. Good luck!
5min Discussion of the environmental effects on the Chuck-Ken gene pool for each island.

5min Personal Genotype & Phenotype. Students record their genotype and phenotype.
10min Coin Flip. Students determine which version of their genes (alleles) they will pass on through the power of science and a coin flip. Students will record the results and add table partners results to determine offspring’s genotype. Students will repeat one more time.
20min Offspring Genotype & Phenotype MiniPoster. Students will determine what their offspring features will be based on their genotype. Student’s will illustrate the results and provide a name for their offspring. (Genotype information should be posted on bottom right corner of poster.)
