Using Flickr in the classroom...

My 8th grade students study human genetics. I would like to have each student take pictures of dominant/recessive traits and display them via flickr. They might do this as a homework assignment (using family members) or possibly as an in school assignment (lunchtime or SRT). I think students would enjoy taking pictures of tongue-rollers, hitchhiker's thumb, widow's peak, etc. Students could group their pictures (dominant traits vs. recessive traits) or possibly create a family pedigree tracing the inheritance of a trait through generations! Sounds like fun!
