About the game
This is an interactive game for high school students based on the Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Grades: 10 & 11
Time: 30- 40 mins.
Skills you will learn: Understand the three laws of inheritance. Ability to make Punnett square to find the genotype and phenotype ratios in case of mono- and di- hybrid cross.
Teacher Notes: This game will give students practice in drawing Punnett squares and finding genotype and phenotype ratios. It may be used as a 30 -40 minutes revision activity in class or as a homework assignment.

How to Play
Ride your scooter through the garden maze. Collect pea plants, purple flowers, white flowers, yellow peas, green peas, wrinkled peas as you make you way through the maze. Create Punnett squares for mono hybrid cross between different parent types and find probability of genotype and phenotype ratios of offspring. Construct a Punnett square for a dihybrid cross between hetreozygous parents with two contrasting traits. In the final levels collect all the gold coins and finish the game.
