Curated OER
Genetics: Knowledge Quiz
In this genetics quiz worksheet, students complete a set of 10 multiple choice questions covering various concepts of genetics. A reference web site is given for additional resources.
Curated OER
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
EMS Lesson 1: Variety is the Spice of Life
Students discern that dominant and recessive traits occur in a variety of combinations in any given group of people.
Curated OER
The Genetic Basis of Neurological Disorders
Young scholars 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.
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.
