| Reebops |
 |
1.) Print off a copy of this page to begin creating a Reebop offspring. 2.) Assign genotypes to the mom and dad Reebops. 3.) Choose one allele from mom and one allele from dad assign to the baby. 4.) Write the phenotype apperiance of the baby, mom, and dad Reebops. 5.) Use supplies made available by your teacher to assemble your new Reebop. 6.) Give your new Reebop a name and a birth date. 7.) Share your new Reebop with your classmates and discuss acquired and inherited traits of your new offspring. |

| Extension Activity |
| Activity #4 1.) Students create a new species by selecting 9 traits for their offspring. (Examples: horns, gills, feathers, wings, web feet, etc.) 2.) Students create and fill out a graph that includes traits, genotype, and phenotype of mom, dad, and offspring. 3.) Students create a drawing of their new species. Encourage the students to make the picture 3-D, by using additional materials such as: buttons, sequence, toothpicks, folded paper, pipe cleaners, etc. 4.) Students will write-up a presentation to present to the class as if they were speaking at a zoologist conference. |
