Teachers will love this comprehensive Grades 3-6 curriculum on pollinators. There are six modules of detailed plans and accompanying materials. Pre-assessment activities and teacher background information, as well as supplemental...

This lesson plan helps students understand the concept of pollination. Objectives, materials, procedures, adaptations, discussion questions, evaluation, extensions, suggested readings, links, vocabulary, and academic standards are all...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] A breakdown of biologist Gregor Mendel's genetic experiments with pea plants to clarify controlling self and cross pollination.

Learn about the principle of dominance as you watch animations showing Mendel's experiments with pea plants. Find out what happened when he crossed plants that produced green seeds with those that produced yellow seeds.

Find out what happened when Mendel crossed two hybrid pea plants. The animations do a good job explaining why these crosses produce a 3:1 ratio of traits.

This paper, the work of a Ph.D. researcher, presents an interesting discussion of the reasons that assexual reproduction is not used by most organisms. Toward the end is a specific discussion of reproduction in plants. Advantages and...

Upper level discussion of several of Mendel's experiments and laws.

This site from Palomar College provides a good background on exactly what Mendel did. Vocabulary links throughout make this a very good introduction article for genetics.

Explore the genetics of plants discovered by Gregor Mendel in the nineteenth century. These interactives will walk users through the planting and growth of pea plants, possible combinations of plans to alter traits, predict the results...
