Pea Plants Dihybrid Cross
In this dihybrid cross worksheet, students are given four crosses to complete using punnett squares. They determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring.
Curated OER
Heredity
In this science worksheet, students find the answers to various types of heredity problems. They use the sheet to set goals for completing the unit.
Curated OER
Genetics
Trace simple genetic patterns of inheritance through a small population. Your young scholars create a family pedigree that traces a genetic condition through several generations.

Frankenfish
Students learn the difference between a genotype and a phenotype. They demonstrate that recombination of gametes (coins) will result in the formation of unique individuals.
Curated OER
The Genetic Basis of Neurological Disorders
Students explore neurological disorders. They examine the presence and absence of discernible genes. Students describe neruological diseases and draw faces of affected persons. They play a human neurology disorders learning game.
