In google slides, make a slide that is completely dark and have some animal cutouts also in the slide. These animals could be "dark" or "bright" and ask them simple questions first:  which caught your attention first? and then relate that to natural selection.

Redesigning Student Experience of Genetics

# data[].attributes.body
1) Different stations where partner pairs go together to test if they possess different phenotypes (e.g. being able to fold tongue, hair color, etc.) and having a checklist
2) Presenting skits on fitness and natural selection with different animals and plants
3) Findings videos to play in class, stopping at certain parts, and asking the class to think about questions being asked about the video (e.g. What do you think will happen next?)

What are some feature we have? Eye color, hair color, etc? This is how i remember being introduced to punnett square as we compare what we have to family members.

Start with common physical features and how they're passed down (like eye, hair, hairline, etc) before using examples in evolution? Maybe creating a family tree to trace back features might be interesting or fun?

have students survey the community for certain traits to see how common those traits are. or, find some data that might show this. then students could do some research as to why certain traits are more prevalent than others.

Show video of a certain species where evident genetic differences are prevalent. Ask for their observations in who survives and who doesn't.  Let them be the scientist and lead them to questions that they want to answer about genetics.
