 In biology students at Southeast Polk high school are learning how to make 16 and four squared Punnett Squares. According to askabiologist.asu.edu, Punnett squares are useful tools for predicting what the offspring will look like when mating plants or animals.
One of the teachers teaching this is Brian Robison. Sophomore Marisa Young is in his eighth period biology class.
“They’re easy and a basic science skill,” said Young. “I don’t mind, I think they are easy.”

The students are learning about genetics and how relate to DNA.  Using the Punnett Square, students had fun predicting what their kids might look like.
