Diane W. I'm a Special Education teacher that collaborates with science most of the day. I've found lots of hands on and wonderful ideas for teaching science that I can use incorporating all of our students. There are so many that I was able to use all year long last year and still finding more this year. Love this site...

Genetics
18
9th - 12th
4.0/5 Stars

Learners Use the Internet to research a genetic or chromosomal disorder. They evaluate websites found during the web hunt and present a 3 -5 minute speech listing causes, symptoms, etc. of a genetic or chromosomal disorder.

Chromosome Karyotyping
201
9th - 12th
4.5/5 Stars

Students explore chromosome karyotyping. In this chromosome karyotyping lesson plan, students use a chromosome kit to explore chromosome syndromes and disorders. They also produce a large model of a cell with chromosome to simulate cell division, the stages of cell division and the structures of the chromosomes.

Human Genetics
472
9th - 10th
3.0/5 Stars

Students investigate the human genome. In this science lesson, students identify the different genes and chromosomes that make up the human body. They create a map of the different chromosomes.

Human Genetics
355
9th
3.0/5 Stars

In this biology worksheet, 9th graders describe whether the father or mother is affected by a sex-linked disorder and why. Then they name two genetic disorders that are caused by a recessive allele on the X-chromosome. Students also name two genetic disorders that are homozygous recessive.

Errors of Meiosis: Chromosomal Abnormalities
11
7th - 8th
4.0/5 Stars

After viewing these concise summaries of the common chromosome abnormalities that cause disorders, students' understanding of genetic errors will be much better.  This presentation has clear diagrams to accompany the explanations. The slides have information about the genetic problems, but not many details about the disorders themselves.

Cell Cycle, Mitosis, Meiosis, and Mutations Review
90
9th - 12th
4.0/5 Stars

Assign these 50 questions to your biology class as a review of cell division. Learners will address the cell cycle, cancer cells, cytokinesis, mitosis, meiosis, gene and chromosomal mutations, and karyotypes. The format is user-friendly, leaving room for pupils to write their answers beneath each question. It would be helpful in preparing them for a quiz on cell division concepts.

Chromosomes & Cell Division
110
7th - 12th
3.5/5 Stars

Break down cell division for your biology classes with this resource. Scholars differentiate between mitosis and meiosis, draw chromatids, and explain a few chromosomal disorders. This can likely be used as a chapter review or a note-taking guide during your lecture. 

What is the purpose of Karyotyping?
139
9th - 12th
4.0/5 Stars

High schoolers explain how karyotyping is used to diagnose specific genetic disorders. They use karyotypes to make observations and analyze chromosomal errors. This activity can be completed online or without computer access.

Chromosome Karyotyping
48
9th - 12th
4.0/5 Stars

Students demonstrate a microtechnique for reliable chromosomal analysis of leucocytes obtained from peripheral blood.

Modeling Mitosis and Meiosis
1,284
9th - 12th
4.0/5 Stars

Students construct and manipulate models of mitosis and meiosis and compare/contrast them. They create the models using index cards and yarn, interpret diagrams and photographs, and summarize written descriptions.
