Curated OER
A Sputtering Image
Learners explain the role of genes in heredity. In this biology lesson, students predict the offspring's genotypes and phenotypes using the Punnett Square. They compute the probability of genotypes and phenotypes.
Curated OER
Life Cycles
Students identify inherited traits. In this heredity instructional activity, students watch a video and construct a genetic description of themselves.
Curated OER
Nature vs. Nurture
Eighth graders investigate the concept of nature versus nurture in human development through this series of lessons.

Blue Genes: Affect Your Life!
Students, in groups, research, analyze and synthesize information on genetic diseases. After watching a video on genetics, groups perform research on a variety of genetic diseases and present their findings to the class.
Curated OER
Human Inheritance
Students analyze genetic characteristics in a given family tree through the F2 generation. Students apply prior knowledge from Gregor Mendel's study with pea plants and his Laws of Heredity to answer questions.
