Students discuss the difference between a gene, DNA, chromatid, and chromosome. They predict how changes in chromosome number or structure affect development. Students discuss what causes genetic disorders. They view a PowerPoint that...

Bring the excitement of genetics to scholars with a dynamic hands-on meiosis modeling experience. During the activity, biologists follow step-by-step procedures to build chromosomes, model independent assortment, learn about crossing...

Based on the book Victoria Goes to Brazil (Children Return to their Roots) by Maria de Fatima Campos, this lesson plan will teach learners about family, geography, sports, music, and transportation. Learners read, summarize, and use the...

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.

Young scholars examine how living cells create new cells and how genetic mutations can cause disorders and be inherited.  In this genetic reproductionn lesson plan students create their own PowerPoint presentation. 

Students identify the structures that actually assort independently. They are taught how gene maps are produced. Students compare the processes of mitosis and meiosis. They are shown their (mitosis and meiosis) significane to sexual...
