If Your Mom Has Big Feet, Will You Have Them Too?
Pupils describe and apply the Mendellian principles of genetics, focusing predominantly on dominant and recessive genes. They demonstrate how two parents contribute genes and how those genes appear in their offspring. They describe...

High School Students Experience Feelings of Being Handicapped
Your genetics juniors will benefit from this lesson. They read an article about a Special Olympics winner and then discuss how life might be for someone who suffers from Down Syndrome.
Curated OER
"Chips" Off the Old Block?
Students study using analogies between common items or occurrences and science concepts. They use the analogy of cookie recipes to that of the DNA "recipes" for living things to help us explain more about mutations.
Curated OER
Drosophila Melanogaster
Students cross wild type flies and mutants, both purchased from a biological supply house (Carolina Biological Supply or Wards, for example) in groups from lesson plan one.
Curated OER
Natural Selection
Young scholars practice calculating allele and genotype frequencies in the framework of a simple simulation using hard candy, calculators, and a worksheet. This lesson includes a three-page worksheet and an assessment question for...
Curated OER
Mendelian Genetics
Young scholars work collaboratively in small learning groups to create some representation of an aspect of Mendelian genetics in this review lesson for the Biology classroom. The lesson includes task cards for each small group and a...

Development of I.Q. and the Degree of Relatedness
Studnets, in groups, analyze data regarding genetic and nongenetic relationships of I.Q. They make observations and discuss correlations from a diagram. Cooperative learning teams discuss a given set of questions and present information...
Curated OER
Biology Honors Final Project
Tenth graders work on a project about cellular biology and genetics. In this biology lesson, 10th graders research about the assigned human body system and genetic disorders that affect it. They create a multimedia presentation and...
Curated OER
Genetics: Punnett Squares
Pupils examine Punnett squares charts and analyze how they are used for successful breeding and predictions of certain traits. They complete interactive Punnett square charts, quizzes, problems, and concentration games.
Curated OER
Drosophila Melanogaster
Students collect their own flies and construct crosses, then compare them to the data from lesson two.
Curated OER
How Can We Extract Human DNA?
Young scholars perform an experiment in which they extract DNA samples from hair samples. They follow a set procedure to extract the DNA and complete summary questions.
Curated OER
The Meaning of Genetic Variation
Students investigate variation in the beta globin gene by identifying base changes that do and do not alter function, and by using several Internet-based resources to consider the significance in different environments of the base...

Collect Your Own Drosophila Lab
Students study Drosophila by catching them. They construct catcher-containers to catch Drosophila using fruit as bait. After collection, they examine the flies and collect data to be displayed.

Plant Biotechnology: Controlling Tissue Differentiation
Learners demonstrate hormonal control of plant tissue differentiation and relate this differentiation to gene expression. They explore the effects of hormones (auxin and cytokinin) on the genes that control tissue differentiation in callus.
Curated OER
The Genetic Basis of Neurological Disorders
Students describe some aspects of known genetic defects on the human neurological condition. They participate in a variety of exercises including drawings, games, and analogies.
Curated OER
Plant Biotechnology: Controlling Tissue Differentation
Learners demonstrate skills of biotechnology stringent aseptic technique and statistical analysis. They describe hormonal control of plant tissue differentiation and relate this to gene expression. Students observe the effects of...
