'CyberSheep: Teach Genetics with a Sheep Breeding Simulation' |
|
|---|---|
|
CyberSheep is an interactive, internet-based game that offers students a real-world application of genetics. In this game, student teams own virtual flocks of sheep, and teams compete to make the most genetic gain in the flock and/or earn the most money. Students must use their knowledge of genetics to eliminate the Spider Lamb Syndrome allele from the flock by purchasing virtual DNA tests and completing Punnett Squares. Students will love this interactive game and will master genetics with this real-world application. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 75 minutes) | |
