Teachers will love this comprehensive Grades 3-6 curriculum on pollinators. There are six modules of detailed plans and accompanying materials. Pre-assessment activities and teacher background information, as well as supplemental...

Discusses what pollination is, the types, what happens during pollination, its importance in agriculture and horticulture, and the biotic and abiotic factors that facilitate pollination. Has some embedded ads.

Find out what happened when Mendel crossed two hybrid pea plants. The animations do a good job explaining why these crosses produce a 3:1 ratio of traits.

Learn about the principle of dominance as you watch animations showing Mendel's experiments with pea plants. Find out what happened when he crossed plants that produced green seeds with those that produced yellow seeds.

Learn about the parts of a flower. Do all flowers have the same parts? Do all flowers reproduce in the same manner? Answers to these questions and more are found here, along with many defined terms.

This paper, the work of a Ph.D. researcher, presents an interesting discussion of the reasons that assexual reproduction is not used by most organisms. Toward the end is a specific discussion of reproduction in plants. Advantages and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] A breakdown of biologist Gregor Mendel's genetic experiments with pea plants to clarify controlling self and cross pollination.

Explore the genetics of plants discovered by Gregor Mendel in the nineteenth century. These interactives will walk users through the planting and growth of pea plants, possible combinations of plans to alter traits, predict the results...
