The living environment, from the interior of a cell to the complex relationships among populations, is queried in this final examination. Learners examine air pollution maps, cell diagrams, population graphs, and drawings of cells. They...

Students compare three sets of unlabeled human chromosomes and gather related data, trace chromosomes to pair them, and make observations about them.

Learners identify inherited traits. In this heredity lesson, students watch a video and construct a genetic description of themselves.

Young scholars, 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.

Third graders experience reading in the content areas by reading about heredity and practicing summarizing the reading.

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.

Students revie the Law of Independent Assortment and Law of Dominance. They practice Punnet squares and predicting genetic outcomes and identify factors that influence heredity.

Eighth graders investigate the concept of nature versus nurture in human development through this series of lessons.
