A collection of genetic learning activities provides an engaging way to learn about traits, or better understand disease risk.

Multi-activity instructional activity in which learners engage in learning about the inheritance of genetic traits.

Shows examples of genetic traits such as earlobes, tongue rolling, and mid-digital finger hair.

Learn genetics and inheritance works on a molecular level.

This site explores the role genetics plays in making you look the way that you do. Content includes fun facts and a classroom experiment.

Students will explore Gregor Mendel's laws of genetics in this instructional activity. Students will be paired in male and female groups. If girls and boys can't be evenly divided, same sex students can be paired to represent research...

A biography of Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics.

Turn the control knob in this interactive to change the level of gene expression in a cell. Find out how gene, mRNA, and protein production are linked.

A complete, student-paced lesson on genetics and inheritance. Students work their way through illustrations and animated tutorials, and answer review questions along the way. There is a self-checking quiz at the end of the lesson.

This simulation can be used to test the heredity of two traits; eye color and the presence of a tail.

Learn how the genes inherited from two parents can be recombined in their offspring in this simulation activity. In addition, investigate the probabilities of passing on inherited genetic disorders.

Understand the conditions required for the Hardy-Weinberg model in evolution.

Learn about the life and work of the father of eugenics, and find out how he contributed to the research on human intelligence.
