Students gather information about gene banks. In this biology instructional activity, students work in groups to complete an activity sheet about genetic databases and organism genomes. Lesson includes extension ideas.

In this genetics worksheet, students will compare four pea plants with different alleles that control flower color and complete 5 short answer questions. Then students will read 8 statements about genetic mutations and determine if the...

Young scholars, in groups, research, analyze and synthesize information on genetic diseases. After watching a video on genetics, groups perform research on a variety of genetic diseases and present their findings to the class.

If you are looking for a great way to present natural selection in humans, look no further. This handout is intended to accompany the 14-minute video The Making of the Fittest: Natural Selection in Humans, which can be found on the...

Students explore and explain how mutations in the DNA sequence of a gene may be silent or result in phenotypic change in an organism and in its offspring. They analyze how evolution and biodiversity are the result of genetic changes that...

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

Students explore inheritance patterns of diseases. For this genetic lesson, students explain how recessive genes may cause human disorders. They identify and research five genetic disorders and present their findings to the class.

Students examine the topic of natural selection. As a class, they write their own definition to survival of the fittest and watch a video. Using the internet, they research how Darwin started to examine this process using finches and how...

Learners explain in their own words why organisms live together. In this biology lesson, students model what happens to organisms if their environment changes. They explain the importance of evolution.

In this DNA worksheet, students compare the DNA sequence of a human and a cow to complete 4 fill in the blank questions and 4 short answer questions.

Students identify synapsis as the key event in meiosis. They explain how synapsis leads to the formation of haploid gametes. Exploration of the differences between the processes of mitosis and meiosis occur. In accordance, explanations...

Young scholars predict traits of future offspring. In this biology instructional activity, students study karyotyping to predict genetic disorders. They research an assigned karyotype and present information about it.
