Taboo, anyone?! A vocabulary review lesson asks learners to give their partners clues to help them guess the target word. The catch? There are words that are taboo. If they use the prohibited words, they don't get credit if partners...

Seventh graders investigate the concept of natural selection and its relationship to the theory of evolution. They conduct research using a variety of resources and use the information to create a class presentation and open up the...

In this biology worksheet, learners use the chart to identify the genotypes of each of the traits listed related to Sponge Bob. Then they identify the genotypes of each of the family members as given. Students also complete the Punnett...

For this biology worksheet, students use the information given on genetics, Sponge Bob and other characters to complete each of the questions on the sheet. They write the phenotype for each stated trait. Students also determine the...

Students examine family structures. In this family structure lesson, students discover things about their own families and those of their classmates. They make a chart as they discuss nature versus nurture, complete a worksheet about who...

Students study human population traits. In this science lesson plan, students gain an understanding of the terms dominant, recessive, haploid (monoploid), diploid, genotype, phenotype, scientific sampling, and scientific modeling as they...

In this genes worksheet, students determine how the gender of a baby is produced plus explore sex-linked disorders such as hemophilia. This worksheet has 20 fill in the blank and 8 short answer questions.

In this biology worksheet, 9th graders identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to the study of genes. There are 18 biology terms located in the word search.

Students assess some common inherited traits which are easily observable and note their phenotype for the trait. Students compare their phenotypes to those of their parents and attempt to describe the pattern and manor of inheritance.

In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to the cells of the body. There are 32 biology terms located in the word search.

In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to genetics. There are 15 biology terms located in the word search.

In this worksheet, students will answer 4 fill in the blank statements about Mendelian inheritance and meiosis. Then students will use Punnett squares to answer three short answer questions. Students will match 8 genetics vocabulary...

Middle schoolers practice looking at their genetics to inquire about their past. In groups, they determine their recessive and dominant genes and plot their height on a graph. They compare and contrast the processes of meiosis and...

Finally, here is a genetics worksheet that does not include Punnett squares! Designed for a more advanced class, biology learners will compare Lamarck's concept of evolution with Darwin's. They will explore the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium...

The Hardy-Weinberg principle is the focus of this concise slideshow.  Some vocabulary definitions are given on the first 2 slides, and the rest are given over to examples of the Hardy-Weinberg theorem. Calculations of the H-W...

The five agents of evolutionary change are reviewed in this slideshow. Definitions of common terms involved with populations and equilibrium are given, and there are some presentations of Hardy Weinberg equations for common examples of...

Students experiment with peapods to show the diversity of individual within a population. They examine dominant traits, recessive traits, genotypes, and phenotypes and show the process of making a Punnett Square.

Students explore the concept of extinction by studying dinosaurs. In this dinosaur lesson, students distinguish between extinct creatures and those that still exist.

In this biology worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle with 38 questions on genetics. They identify the different parts and functions of a flower.

In this heredity worksheet, students will use diagrams and informational paragraphs about traits, alleles, and genotypes to complete 3 short answer questions.

Young scholars explore the concepts of phenotypes and genotypes.  In this genetics lesson students work together to pick a superhero and determine the traits of the offspring. 

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

Sixth graders complete a human traits survey.  In this genetics activity students read articles and fill out a worksheet on genotype and phenotypes. 

Follow fruit fly genetics with this probability activity. Biology scholars analyze the alleles of Bugsy, Daisy, Dino, and Lulu, considering traits for antennae, wing type, and eye color. They solve Punnett squares to determine the...
