Staple the top right and top left of the crease fold (above title flap)
Read pages 76-89 of your textbook. As you come across a highlighted term, write the word in your notebook on page 94. Note and find
relationships between words. Arrange the words by their relationship with each other (ex. “up” and “down” are opposites so they would
be next to each other). Once you figure out an order, transfer all of the words to the flaps of the flap book. You will end up with 2 words
on each flap. One word is the “title” word for the entire book (largest flap on top). The last “flap” will be the rubric to score this project.
genotype, hybrid, heredity, purebred, homozygous, probability, fertilization, Punnett square, co-dominance, phenotype, trait, genetics, alleles,
heterozygous, gene, dominant allele, recessive allele
