In this genetic worksheet, high schoolers will complete 4 fill in the blank questions about selective breeding and determining genotypes. Then students will use a Punnett square to determine the genotype for two different breeding...

Students view a video that reviews Mendelian genetics. They discuss the Hardy-Weinberg Law and use Popsicle sticks to simulate genetic variations and ratios in offspring.

Young scholars learn the difference between a genotype and a phenotype. They demonstrate that recombination of gametes (coins) will result in the formation of unique individuals.

Students explore neurological disorders. They examine the presence and absence of discernible genes. Students describe neruological diseases and draw faces of affected persons. They play a human neurology disorders learning game.

Students participate in a genetics activity in which they determine genotypes and phenotypes for given traits. They work with a partner and create babies based on their genotypes. Once traits for babies are determined, they write...

The purpose of this instructional activity is to slowly introduce the Hardy-Weinberg Law and population genetics to your learners after you have completed Mendelian genetics. Using this format, you ease the students into the concept by...

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.

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.

Students experiment with genes and environment for a population of "Toothpick Fish."

In this heredity worksheet, students review how genes are involved in the inheritance of certain traits through generations. Students complete a Punnett square and review probability. This worksheet has 11 short answer and 11 fill in the...

Young scholars, in groups, research, analyze and synthesize information on genetic diseases. After watching a video on genetics, groups perform research on a variety of genetic diseases and present their findings to the class.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Explains what dominant and recessive traits are and how they work, and provides a list of single gene traits with the degree of manifestation if they are dominant or recessive. Also discusses co-dominance, incomplete dominance, polygenic...
