How about a simple genetic cross showing Mendelian segregation of
traits.  You could even include a cross that would demonstrate
the differences in inheritance of sex-linked vs. autosomal
traits.  It may be possible to obtain suitable Drosophila strains
for such crosses (and help with their ultimate design) from your
local University biology department.
