NOVA Evolution Lab Lesson Plan
It doesn't matter if you look on land, in the air, underground, or in water—evolution is everywhere. Scholars complete worksheets with multiple question types as they progress through six online missions creating phylogenic trees.
Rice University
Biology for AP® Courses
An eight-unit electronic textbook provides a guide to AP® Biology. Each of the 28 chapters include an introduction, multiple lessons, a summary, review questions, and test prep questions. Teachers see how each lesson connects to a big...
Curated OER
Marked For Life
Students study certain genetic disorders and their effects on the lives of victims and their families. They investigate new methods of genetic screening and the social and personal ramifications of the technology.
Curated OER
Whatcha Gonna Do?
Students investigate genetic problems and clarify their own values. They make rational decisions using their value system, and extend their ability to make wise decisions in their personal lives.
Curated OER
Market Failure
Students view a PowerPoint presentation on market failure. They research the genetically modified food market and identify positive and negative externalities associated with this market. They consider some of the difficulties in...

Comparing Chimp mtDNA to Learn about Races
In this computer-based lesson, students will measure genetic diversity within and between three subspecies of chimpanzees in order to gain a better understanding of genetic distinctiveness and explore race as a genetic concept.
Curated OER
Mendel Pea Plants
In this Mendelian genetics worksheet, students answer a variety of questions about Mendel's experiments and discoveries and they practice determining probability of outcomes in pea plants.
Curated OER
Genes, Environments, and Behavior 1
Students examine how scientists study the genetic and environmental factors that interact to produce variation in behavior across a population.
Curated OER
Electrophoretic Analysis: DNA Fingerprinting and Evolutionary Divergence
Students examine the principles of electrophoresis. They evaluate both the agarose and polyacrylamide system of molecular separation. In order to bring the concepts of genetics and evolution full circle from DNA to protein, students...
