Teach Engineering: Heredity Mix 'N Match
This site includes a lesson plan designed to teach students how genetic traits are passed down from parents to offspring. Students will explore such concepts as random selection, chrosomes, genotypes and phenotypes using jelly beans and...

Visionlearning: Biology: Charles Darwin Iii: Descent With Modification
Instructional module focusing on Charles Darwin's theory of Descent with Modification. Discusses how slight changes from parent to offspring create variation and potentially create new species over time. Site also includes an interactive...

Science Buddies: Investigate Alien Genetics
In this activity, you will use an alien model to demonstrate how genes or physical traits are passed on from parents to their offspring.

Oklahoma State University: Ag in the Classroom: Hairy Heredity [Pdf]
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...

Teach Engineering: The Benefits of Biodiversity
First, students toss coins to determine what traits a set of mouse parents possess, such as fur color, body size, heat tolerance, and running speed. Next they use coin tossing to determine the traits a mouse pup born to these parents...
BioEd Online
Bio Ed Online: Reebops: A "Model" Organism for Teaching Genetic Concepts
For this lesson students create imaginary creatures, called "Reebops," to explore the relationships between genes and inherited traits. Using Reebops as a model, students learn how hereditary information is passed from one generation to...
How Stuff Works
How Stuff Works: How Evolution Works
Bacteria reproduce asexually. This means that, when a bacteria cell splits, both halves of the split are identical -- they contain exactly the same DNA. The offspring is a clone of the parent.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: The Virtual Field
A virtual lab that explores how offspring inherit different traits from their parents. Investigate these traits both in animals and plants. Understand that variations in offspring can lead to traits that allow survival. Lab includes...
Biology Corner
Biology Corner: Pipe Cleaner Babies
Using chromosome and gene models, students play the roles of two parents in this genetics simulation. The object is to create four offspring and determine their genotypes and phenotypes, and determine the probability of having offspring...

Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: All in the Family
Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson shows students the scientific reasoning behind the societal taboo of incest. Students complete a Punnett square to determine the chances of an offspring inheriting two recessive...
Oswego City School District
Regents Exam Prep Center: Reproduction: Asexual Reproduction
Review of asexual reproduction shows how an offspring is produced from one parent. The methods of asexual reproduction (binary fission, budding, sporulation, and mitosis) are explained briefly accompanied by illustrations.
