Genetics Since Mendel
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders describe how two alleles can produce three phenotypes. Then they create a Punnett square showing the possible offspring of red and white cattle. Students also determine the genotypes and phenotype...

Human Genetics
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders create a Punnett square to show the possible offspring of a carrier female and a normal male for color blindness. Then they draw a pedigree for the family and indicate whether the daughter is...

What is Genetics?
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders name two forms of the trait for seed shape observed by Mendel. Then they determine the percentage of the possible types of offspring that have the same genotype as the parents. Students also explain...

Incomplete Dominance
In this biology worksheet, students use the information given about genetics and Sponge Bob to complete each section of the sheet. They identify and explain incomplete dominance and use it to help them complete the questions that follow.

SpongeBob Genetics Quiz
In this biology instructional activity, students use the information given to complete each of the questions. They indicate whether each genotype is heterozygous or homozygous. Students also complete the Punnett square to illustrate the...

Do Your Earlobes Hang down?
Seventh graders listen as the teacher explains the differences between dominant and recessive traits. The data sheet is described and delivered to students. Students collect data about themselves and record it on their sheet. For the...

Genes, not Jeans
Fifth graders examine the difference between dominant and recessive genes, and what happens when genes are combined. They complete a worksheet on genetics after observing if they can wiggle their ears or roll their tongues. They...
Curated OER
Heredity (Mendelian Genetics)
Students observe and record observations of whether a person is a taster or nontaster. They test selected individuals from their families and peer groups and chart all findings to determine which trait (e.g. taster or non-taster) is...
Curated OER
Genetically Inherited Traits
Students explore heredity by examining how traits are passed from parent to offspring. Genetic terminology is examined and examples of inherited traits discussed. calculating genetic probability is also investigated in this lesson.
Curated OER
How Do Organisms Vary?
Young scholars study variation of organisms. They determine this variation arises from genetic and environmental causes.
Curated OER
How Unique Are You?
Students explore how genetic information is passed down from parent to offspring. Because of this, they examine how this causes the variation in each species.
Curated OER
Heredity: Your Connection To The Past
Students investigate genetics and the process of reproduction in living organisms.

EMS Lesson 1: Variety is the Spice of Life
Students discern that dominant and recessive traits occur in a variety of combinations in any given group of people.

A Tasteless Tasty Test
Students review the inheritance patterns of simple dominant and recessive traits in humans. They use PTC tasting as a model trait. Each student determines whether or not they are a taster using PTC paper then they compile and discuss the...
Curated OER
Here's Looking at You
Students assess some common inherited traits which are easily observable and note their phenotype for the trait. Students compare their phenotypes to those of their parents and attempt to describe the pattern and manor of inheritance.

Genetic Screening In The Workplace: Case Study
Students participate in a small group discussion/role play of a specific case study concerning the use of genetic screening in the workplace.
