Students examine the lives and contributions of people who have worked in the fields of genetics and biotechnology. Students work in small groups and read a biography of a person associated with genetics. After filling out a comparison...

Students predict possible phenotypic and genotypic outcomes for avariety of common plant hybrids. They review and explain the characteristics of dominant and recessive traits and explore Mendelian genetics. Students plot the possible...

Students explore genetics and biotechnology. Working in a group as a "biotech company", they genetically modify a plant and then promote their product at a biotechnology funding fair.

Young scholars role-playing the concept of evolution through naturally occurring mutations. Working in pairs, they model how birds have adapted to the food sources in their environment through changes in their beak size and shapes....

Students review some important concepts and terms relevant to the Human Genome Project and genetic research. The game is played like a mind reading session between two teams.

High schoolers complete a study guide using a website which is an animated primer on DNA, genes, and heredity. The Web site is organized around key concepts. The web links and study guide are included.

Students analyze the results of a hypothetical cloning experiment using a restriction endonuclease map obtained from an on-line data source. They answer the question, "How can I tell if the DNA I have obtained from this hypothetical...

Students investigate how Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium is established and what assumptions and conditions are necessary to reach Equilibrium. They model alleles using materials such as index cards, M & M's and goldfish.

Students examine the genetics involved in the human genome. They brainstorm the advantages and disadvantages to this discovery. They research different experts opinion and write a case study which addresses an ethical dilemma.

Students explain the concepts of what DNA is and where it is located in a cell, identify the two types of molecules that make up the rungs of a DNA molecule and identify the two types of Purine and Pyrimidine molecules

Students investigate the effects of depression and the brain's influence on metal illness. The factors that may affect a person's ability to develop depression are examined in this lesson plan.

Students create a fictional organism. In this biology lesson, students predict the traits of resulting offspring. They complete activity worksheet and discuss answers in class.

Learners predict the characteristics of future offspring using punnet squares. In this genetics lesson, students explore monohybrid crosses using an interactive website. They research about causes of blueness in people.

Pupils predict traits of future offspring. In this biology lesson plan, students study karyotyping to predict genetic disorders. They research an assigned karyotype and present information about it.

Students create PowerPoint presentation on the topic they researched. In this biology lesson, students fill out a storyboard about their topic. They share their project in class.

Students extract DNA from split peas. In this biology lesson plan, students research how chromatin form into chromosomes. They draw the stages and present their work in class.

In this biology worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle with 38 questions on genetics. They identify the different parts and functions of a flower.

Learners identify the different steps involved in DNA transcription. In this genetics lesson, pupils complete a worksheet and model the translation process with a paper chain activity. They watch a video on sickle cell anemia and explain...

Students complete a Punnett square and list the probability and ratio of the offspring's genotype and phenotype in this genetics worksheet. There are 8 problems to complete, and are challenging to work on.

In this genetics worksheet, students complete 8 problems where they fill out Punnett squares and find the percentage of genotypes and phenotypes. This fine worksheet could be used for in-class independent practice, or as a homework...

In this genetics worksheet, students complete 7 questions where they define terms, fill in punnet squares, and answer short answer questions, regarding a variety of genetics concepts. An excellent in-class, or homework assignment.

Students read a passage, consider a genetic square of plants and answer 3 short answer questions about it the concepts. For this genetics worksheet, students compose their answers on a separate piece of paper.

Learners build chromosome models using popsicle sticks. In this biology lesson, students simulate the Law of Independent Assortment. They use Punnett squares to predict the resulting genotype and phenotype.

Students explore genetics through various hands-on activities. For this biology lesson, students predict the probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes using the Punnett Square. They explain the causes of genetic abnormalities.
