Part of Lesson Plan: Bioethics: Genotypes and Phenotypes

Activity Overview / Details

Start a discussion about respecting each other opinions.  Tell students that  they are going to be hearing different people's opinions.  It is important to emphasize to students that even though they may not agree with others, they are able to debate with them, but they should not be disrespectful behavior.  Tell students that side conversations while someone is speaking, laughing at someone for their thoughts, or saying negitive comments will result in lost of points.  It is important to set the tone of the period to be positive. 

Show the students the powerpoint with the four phenotypes. This will result in lots of comments and it is important to give them a minute to talk.
