A three-day unit introduces heredity by helping students identify their own genetic traits and then leading them in an exploration of generational traits and variation. Find printable worksheets, data tables, and graphs, as well as...

This is a ten-question quiz pertaining to Mendelian genetics.

Human-Genetics: A Worldwide Search for the Dominant Trait allows you to collect data and share your results with students around the world. Register your class, complete the student survey, participate in discussion boards, and interact...

Take this 9-question unit test over classical genetics.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Mendel laid the foundation for modern genetics, but there were still a lot of questions he left unanswered. What exactly are the dominant and recessive factors that...

In this activity, students simulate a Punnett square of a cross between two heterozygous individuals and produce a histogram. They compare actual and expected results of genetic crosses.

This article from DNA from the beginning is loaded with goodies about genetics and DNA. Starting with Mendel all the way through the concept of DNA, you will see how life is given certain characteristics. Some animations and audio clips...

This site from Palomar College provides an online practice quiz includes history as well as some of the genetics. Includes feedback. A great learning and practice site.

Manipulate the environment to see how it plays a role in the rapid evolutionary changes in rock pocket mice.

Activity Overview Use the SciTools App to simulate a Punnett square. Make predictions about genetic crosses. Learn about the following concepts; genes, alleles, dominant alleles, recessive alleles, homozygous individuals, heterozygous...

This lesson focuses on genetic inheritance including defining key terms such as chromosomes, alleles, DNA, genes, genome, and more. Links to a video and a test are provided.

Breed pure mice with known genotypes that exhibit specific fur and eye colors, and learn how traits are passed on via dominant and recessive genes. Punnett squares can be used to predict results. (Free usage is limited to five minutes...

There are many ways to learn about Gregor Mendel and his pea experiments. This interactive tutorial requires users to actually plant, grow, and cross different plants to observe their traits. Pedigrees are also used to help show dominant...

This set of seven activities will proved a thorough review of Mendel's work. The interactive experiments are easy to follow and drive home the concepts.

A multiple-choice quiz on genetics terms and concepts.

This site, which is provided for by the University of Arizona, gives problems online that correspond to basic Mendelian genetics. Test your knowledge once you've read about Mendel and accessed the links to the various subjects covered in...

Clermont College provides a good interactive practice test using Punnett squares.

Fifth graders will discover the difference between inherited traits and learned behaviors by bringing the traits to life in a game of charades. After that, the students will demonstrate knowledge of recessive and dominant traits as they...

A simulation where students flip coins to mimic how parents pass genetic traits to their offspring through heredity. This activity also illustrates the difference between dominant and recessive genes, and how they interact with each...

Explore the genetics of plants discovered by Gregor Mendel in the nineteenth century. These interactives will walk users through the planting and growth of pea plants, possible combinations of plans to alter traits, predict the results...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In all of Mendel's experiments, he worked with traits where a single gene controlled the trait. Each also had one allele that was always dominant over the recessive...

Mendel's second law and how he arrived at it through his experiments. Includes vocabulary and examples.

This resource explains Mendel's first law (Law of Segregation) in detail. Includes Mendel's original experiments with results and conclusions.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Complete the Punnett Square in the interactive by moving the rectangles in the box. You will need a sign-in for this media, but it is well worth your time!
