An indepth introduction to genetics as a whole with sample lessons, vocabulary, and bibliography. From the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute.

Students will use a Sickle Cell Anemia case study to learn about allele frequencies, genetics, and molecular biology.

An advanced lesson plan that describes the role of mutations in the birth and death of genes. It includes background information, examples, video clips, and animations.

This is a great lesson plan that combines Karoytypes and evolution. Students will recognize that the chromosomes of chimpanzees and humans are remarkably similar, then correlate that to their evolutionary relationship.

Constructing phylogenetic trees may be a daunting task for students, but this lesson plan is a simulation of what molecular biologists must do to determine relationships. This plan is for students who have a good grasp of DNA structure...

In this instructional activity, students learn how DNA fits into chromosomes, how chromosomes relate to the human body, DNA replication, and protein synthesis.

This lesson plan involves comparison of amino acids to create a phylogenetic tree of primates. Students will also use other species information to draw conclusions about evolutionary relationships.

This lesson plan focuses on differences in the amino acid sequence of hemoglobin and myoglobin proteins. They use the number of differences to create a phylogenetic tree.

This lesson plan requires young scholars to analyze DNA restriction maps to determine the differences in the sequence for several primates and humans. They then use the information to create a cladogram.

Hear the tale of one man's struggle with being a dwarf and how he has worked to overcome. Get a new perspective of little people and learn to gain acceptance.
