Curated OER
Genetic Variation Worksheet
Fill- in-the-blank, labeling, and short answer questions make up this well-written cell division worksheet. Neat diagrams of chromosomes and dividing cells are included. Junior biologists show what they know about reproduction, meiosis,...
Curated OER
Evolution Study Guide
Thirty short-answer questions comprise this detailed review of evolution theory. Many of the questions ask scholars to define vocabulary. Because short answers are required, this worksheet will take some time to complete. You could give...
Curated OER
Monstrous Mutations
Students investigate mutations and simulate their mutation while trying to collect food. In this mutations lesson plan, students pick an identified mutation out of a paper bag. They simulate their mutation while trying to collect food...
Curated OER
DNA, RNA, Protein Synthesis, & Mutation
In this biology worksheet, students identify and label the diagram shown by stating what each part of the diagram represents on the line. Then they use the DNA strand as the original strand and complete the data table. Students also...
Curated OER
Genes and Chromosomes
In this DNA worksheet, students will review vocabulary about the structure and characteristics of DNA and the processes of replication and mutation. 3 true or false questions, 6 matching questions, 5 fill in the blank statements.
Curated OER
Evolution
In this evolution worksheet, learners review genetic variability, gene mutations, biodiversity and adaptations. This worksheet has 22 fill in the blank and 10 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Natural Selection Simulation
Students simulate the changes in a natural population of birds or other species. They establish baseline data of population fluctuation for a closed population with a stable food supply. They graph the data to complete their mutations.
