Young scientists demonstrate their creativity while completing several activities, to assess genetic variations and mutations. Instructors provide a list of options and scientists choose to write a comic strip, create a book,...

Students explore inheritance patterns of diseases. In this genetic lesson, students explain how recessive genes may cause human disorders. They identify and research five genetic disorders and present their findings to the class.

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

Young scholars study seabirds and how they have adapted to their environments.  In this activity based lesson students will play a card game that will allow them to have a better understanding of seabirds and their adaptations. 

Explore genetically modified foods through various experiments. In this biology lesson plan, students discuss the safety issues related to GMF's. They conduct a PCR analysis to identify the presence of genetic modification.
