Colorful Chromosomes
Everything is in the genes. Individuals observe 14 different traits of themselves. Using pipe cleaners and beads, the learners create models of a chromosome representing their traits. The class then compares and contrasts everyone's...

Genetics: Who are you?
Study, manipulate, and research genetic traits. Discuss how genetic traits are passed from one generation to another. Classmates explore how they look like their parents and debate whether or not they can do anything about it? They...

An Inventory of My Traits
In this biology activity, students identify and describe a number of easily observable genetic traits and compare the traits they have with other students. Then they identify and describe that some traits are common while others are not...

Heredity Worksheet #2
In this genetics instructional activity, learners use a diagram showing the genetic offspring of plants with different types of seeds to answer 4 short answer questions. Then students determine the traits of offspring of different...
Curated OER
Mendel's Laws of Heredity
In this heredity worksheet, students will review the work Mendel did on predicting how traits were passed down from generation to generation. Then students will review monohybrid and dihybrid crosses and Punnett squares. This worksheet...
Curated OER
Genetically Inherited Traits
Students explore heredity by examining how traits are passed from parent to offspring. Genetic terminology is examined and examples of inherited traits discussed. calculating genetic probability is also investigated in this lesson.

Human Heredity Vocabulary
Ninth graders review the terms "aneuploidy," "fetus," and "karyotype" in this vocabulary activity, which includes three multiple choice questions about each term. This activity could be expanded into a more developed vocabulary lesson in...
Curated OER
Genetics Since Mendel
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders describe how two alleles can produce three phenotypes. Then they create a Punnett square showing the possible offspring of red and white cattle. Students also determine the genotypes and phenotype...
