Human biology or genetics learners apply their knowledge to a unique situation: two newborn baby girls being possibly switched in the hospital. The engaging activity ends with a Punnett squares assignment in which pupils...

Imagine a pair of dragons that produce offspring. What percentage of the hatchlings have wings and large antlers? An engaging activity draws genetics learners in, introduces them to alleles, meiosis, phenotypes, genotypes, and...

Given the phenotypes of offspring in mice, flowers, and human blood type, genetics pupils practice determining the genotypes of the parents. Four short answer questions follow. The entire assignment will require learners to put on their...

Hilarious! Use the characters from SpongeBob Square Pants to practice solving genetics problems! Yellow sponge body color is dominant to blue. Square body shape is dominant to round body shape. Did someone switch Mr. Krab's baby...

How often do you find a science worksheet that comes with separate teacher's instructions? Here is one of those rare instances. Goals and objectives, materials, and evaluation guidelines precede the actual assignment. Biology leaners...

A handout on genetic inheritance begins with a reading on alleles and how they can result in albinism. Junior geneticists learn to complete Punnett squares and participate in a coin toss simulation of allele pairing. They also learn...

Geneticists of the future identify heterozygous and homozygous genotypes, describe phenotypes, and use Punnett squares to solve problems and determine characteristics of offspring. A total of 15 questions make this a compact quiz or...

For this heredity worksheet, students will use a Punnett square showing the mating of a human male and female to answer 4 questions. 2 short answer questions, 2 true or false statements.

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...

Students complete a series of lessons where they learn about the basics of genetics, fill out Punnett Squares correctly, and solve reality based problems. In this genetics lesson plan, students have worksheets that are provided.

Fifth graders examine how traits are passed to their offspring using Punnett Squares. They demonstrate how a Punnett Square works by physically moving around boxes taped on the floor, representing the different traits of chicks and...

This interactive activity, adapted from the Dolan DNA Learning Center, uses Punnett squares to illustrate Mendel's laws of inheritance and how a particular gene combination results in a 3-to-1 ratio of dominant-to-recessive traits.
