Chromosomes, DNA, and Genes-Roadmap To Understanding The Foundation Of Genetics
Students investigate DNA by doing a hands on activity. In this activity lesson students participate in a lab that allows to explore DNA and chromosomes.
Curated OER
Extracting DNA
Students develop understanding of DNA by modeling the process of DNA extraction. They study DNA, genes and chromosomes. After the basic information, students do an experiment in which they separate out DNA from peas.
Curated OER
Homologous Shoes
Students examine the concept of homology by observing their shoes and those of their classmates. They summarize the observations of everyone's shoes relating it to chromosomes in cells. They share their observations with the class.
