Students examine cell structure, cell division, and the basic structure of DNA. They read and discuss a case study of DNA research, answer discussion questions, role-play the process of mitosis, and complete a DNA Fact or Fiction worksheet.

Ninth graders complete a monohybrid cross and a dihybrid cross. For this biology lesson, 9th graders predict the traits of offspring using the Punnett square. They differentiate recessive and dominant genes.

Students cross wild type flies and mutants, both purchased from a biological supply house (Carolina Biological Supply or Wards, for example) in groups from lesson one.

Students examine Punnett squares charts and analyze how they are used for successful breeding and predictions of certain traits. They complete interactive Punnett square charts, quizzes, problems, and concentration games.

Pupils analyze genetic characteristics in a given family tree through the F2 generation. Students apply prior knowledge from Gregor Mendel's study with pea plants and his Laws of Heredity to answer questions.

Young scholars describe some aspects of known genetic defects on the human neurological condition. They participate in a variety of exercises including drawings, games, and analogies.

In this genetics worksheet, high schoolers access a given website, chose a genetic disorder, and complete the 10 short answer questions about the disorder.

Students study Mendelian genetic terms, locate and name loci on chromosomes, karyotype construction, inheritance patterns through families.

Students flip a pair of coins to determine what genotype and what phenotype their child have for 29 given traits. They draw a picture of their kid based on their coin flip phenotypes.

Students identify the different kinds of blood. In this biology lesson, students investigate the antigens, agglutinins and Rh factor using their own blood. They use Punnett squares to predict blood type of offspring.

Young scholars practice measuring using the metric system and millimeters. They measure their thumbs and record their findings. Students record the findings of their classmates and find the average or mean for the two groups.

Seventh graders describe the basic structure of the DNA molecule. They identify what an inherited trait is and how it can be determined by one or more genes. Finally, 7th graders identify that plant and animal cells contain several...

Students formulate hypothesis based upon data gathered by examining possible crosses of spiderworts using Punnett squares. They present explanations for physiological adaptations of spiderworts that resulted from interactions within the...

Students explore some of the ethical questions raised by genetic testing. They answer the question of whom, if anyone, has rights to knowledge of each person's genetic make-up.

This is a worksheet regarding human genetics where students can poll the class regarding specific traits.

Eighth graders investigate the concept of nature versus nurture in human development through this series of lessons.

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.

Trace simple genetic patterns of inheritance through a small population. Your students create a family pedigree that traces a genetic condition through several generations.

In this literacy worksheet, students find the words that are related to the concept that is the theme of the word search puzzle.

Students explore plant DNA.

Seventh graders discuss their own genetic traits. Using computers, they research the creation of Punnett Squares. They preform online experiments with peas, predicting the appearances of the offspring. They determine how genetic traits...

In this genetics activity, students will solve genetic problems using the genetic cross or a Punnett square. This activity has 6 short answer questions.

Students investigate the principles of probability that can be used to predict hereditary traits.

Sixth graders consider heredity. In this science lesson plan, 6th graders gain an understanding of certain physical traits are inherited from their parents through the genes.
