Away with the pictures of peas! Teach genetics more vividly and comprehensibly with real plants! With Mendel in a Box, you can grow plants together in the classroom that have previously been bred and crossed so that they perfectly mimic Mendel's rules of inheritance.
Observe the growth of the plants together in the classroom and analyse the segregation of the phenotypes together. In Mendel in a Box, all three Mendelian rules are covered.
The experiment lasts approx. 6-12 weeks depending on the season and sunlight, one box corresponds to one class set of material.
Concepts taught:
Mendel's rules of inheritance
- Growth of dicotyledonous plants
- Flower structure of angiosperms
- Mutation and breeding
