526–531p. Abstract: This article presents a modified version of a “cookbook” laboratory activity that uses colored corn kernels to address the fundamental ideas in classical genetics. The purposeful sequencing of concrete experiences with corn plant structures along with teacher questioning promotes mental engagement and scaffolds students to a deeper and more robust understanding of inheritance, zygosity, genotype and phenotype, and calculating probabilities of inherited alleles using the Punnett Square. ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** scientific inquiry| inheritance| laboratory education 0002-7685 https://doi.org/10.1525/abt.2023.85.9.526 https://doi.org/10.1525/abt.2023.85.9.526 240409 20240409110325.0
