In this cell division activity, students answer 15 multiple choice questions about both mitosis and meiosis. Topics include the outcomes of the processes, the phases of the processes and steps within each process.

Pupils examine the principles of electrophoresis. They evaluate both the agarose and polyacrylamide system of molecular separation. In order to bring the concepts of genetics and evolution full circle from DNA to protein, students...

In this biology worksheet, 9th graders identify and explain what cell stay in inter-phase. Then they describe which stage of cell is the shortest and determine why that is true. Students also explain the process of mitosis.

You can use these slides to explain the many complicated steps of the Polymerase Chain Reaction. The diagnostic and forensic uses of gel electrophoresis are detailed. This PowerPoint could be used to communicate facts, or to prompt...

A continuous cascade of information comes through this PowerPoint on biotechnology. The topic is defined, a history is presented, and basic genetic engineering techniques are explained. The topic is covered in an objective manner,...

In this biology worksheet, students answer 30 multiple choice trivia questions on various genetics and types of chromosome abnormalities.

Crack open the mysteries inside a genome. Participants view an animated video describing the relationship between DNA, genes, proteins, chromosomes, and an organism's genome. A post-video worksheet allows pupils to apply knowledge by...

It's alive! Turn young biologists into mad scientists with this engaging genetics activity. Using their knowledge of chromosomes and genes, students create dragons with unique sets of traits,...

Sixth graders identify, locate and describe the function of the parts of a cell. In groups, they state the five stages of mitosis and put them in the correct order. They are introduced to the structure of DNA and mRNA and how they...

Tenth graders investigate the chemical composition of DNA and RNA and how they work together to synthesize protein. They discover genetic codes, gene chromosome theory, and how the environment influences our appearance.

In this genetic change activity, high schoolers will explore the changes that can occur in DNA including point mutations and chromosomal mutations. This activity has 11 multiple choice questions.

Eighth graders use a large Punnett Square and infer how genes determine blood types.  In this blood type lesson students predict blood types and demonstrate how Punnett Squares are related to genes and chromosomes. 

Teenaged scientists can use this quiz or study guide to show off their understanding of genetic mutations and their causes; includes short answer, multiple choice, matching, and more.

Students develop understanding of DNA by modeling the process of DNA extraction. They study DNA, genes and chromosomes. After the basic information, students do an experiment in which they separate out DNA from peas.

Ninth graders discover where their physical appearance and personality traits come from. In this genetics instructional activity, 9th graders learn about cells, chromosomes, DNA and genes. Students discover where genes come from as well...

In this DNA worksheet, students read information about DNA and messenger RNA. Then students complete 16 short answer questions and color 2 images.

Students read about the X and Y chromosomes in humans and complete a worksheet.

Students examine the difference between mitosis and meiosis, and describe the steps involved in meiosis and the significance of each step. They create a diploid nucleus containing two pairs of chromosomes using clay.

In this biology word search worksheet, students search for 29 words that are located in a word bank at the bottom of the page. They find words such as chromosomes, alleles, DNA, and populations.

Students explain how cells reproduce. In this biology lesson, students transcribe and translate a gene. They discuss and compare their answers in class.

These two pages cover the gamut of topics regarding reproduction and DNA replication. Structures, processes, functions, and reasons for them are tested here. The questions are mostly multiple choice, but there are also a few...

Introduce the concept of genetics to your kindergartners with a science experiment about chromosomes in fish. After a quick overview of what chromosomes are, learners color different chromosomes to show that they come from the mom or the...
