How do you fill in the blanks about meiosis? With this handout! Most of the blanks have a letter filled in to give learners a hint. This resource is a good way for young biologists to ensure they have learned all the necessary vocabulary...

Students study the basics of genetics and the father of genetics Gregor Mendel.

Fifth graders explore genetic traits. In this genetic traits lesson, 5th graders discover how traits are passed from parent to offspring while examining plants. Students problem solve real world applications.

Students combine their knowledge of genetics, farming and nutrition to design a genetically engineered food. Students focus on how the food will be improved, how it differs from the original product, what types of modifications will be...

Test your students' biology vocabulary skills with this review sheet, in which students define twelve different vocabulary terms related to patterns of heredity. Using the word bank provided, 9th graders complete eight sentences with the...

For this genetic technology worksheet, students will answer 6 true or false statements and 4 short answer questions based on the mapping and sequencing of the human genome and the applications of the Human Genome Project.

In this genetic instructional activity, learners will complete 4 fill in the blank questions about selective breeding and determining genotypes. Then students will use a Punnett square to determine the genotype for two different breeding...

Fifth graders explore genetic traits. For this genetic traits lesson, 5th graders investigate dominant and recessive traits. Students identify similar traits between a parent organism and its offspring.

Students review genetic concept of traits, define and discuss phenotypes and genotypes, examine differences between single gene traits and multiple gene traits, and compare and record phenotypes with every other student in class.

Students explore Gregor Mendel's work with genetics. They complete a survey of their friends and family in order to identify dominant and recessive traits. Once their surveys are complete, students discuss the ways in which dominant...

Students investigate the concept of evolution and how natural selection is used as an indicator that evolution has happened. They recognize the three effects it has on diversity and how adaptations can develop. Diversity is explained as...

Students participate in a genetics activity in which they determine genotypes and phenotypes for given traits. They work with a partner and create babies based on their genotypes. Once traits for babies are determined, they write...

In this genetic change worksheet, students will explore the changes that can occur in DNA including point mutations and chromosomal mutations. This worksheet has 11 multiple choice questions.

In this language arts worksheet, students find 8 words in a word search puzzle. All words appear to relate to biology or genetics. The meaning of the title is not clear.

In this GED life science worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given 8 clues about cell division, genetics, and the human body systems.

Students construct paper model of the DNA molecule.  In this genetics instructional activity, students assemble paper parts that represent nucleotides into a DNA molecule.  Extension ideas are also provided.

High schoolers examine molecular evidence, discover the structure of DNA and gain understanding of genetics.  In this molecular instructional activity students compare anatomical evidence with molecular evidence.

For this evolution and genes worksheet, learners answer 10 multiple choice questions related to genetics, DNA, polygenic traits and heredity.

Learners identify the different steps involved in DNA transcription. In this genetics instructional activity, pupils complete a worksheet and model the translation process with a paper chain activity. They watch a video on sickle cell...

Young scholars design a human genetic condition pamphlet which they present to the class and then take to a doctor's or pediatrician's office.

Students explain what the knowledge of DNA can tell us about ourselves and other organisms and species. They also explore the systematic study of the human genome.

Biotechnology changes lives every day, but how did it all start? Learn about Cohen and Boyer's technique for recombinant DNA and the founding of this new scientific study. Then, scholars use the online interactive to discover how Hanahan...

Eugenics philosophy takes survival of the fittest to a whole new level. With a research-focused activity, young scientists examine the history of the eugenics movement and its impact on society. Pupils engage with a video clip, primary...

You may not know if that zebrafish in your fish tank is a model citizen—but it is definitely a model organism! What can we learn about ourselves from a tiny zebrafish? Discover more about the polygenic trait of skin color through a...
