Students will explore Gregor Mendel's laws of genetics in this lesson. Students will be paired in male and female groups. If girls and boys can't be evenly divided, same sex students can be paired to represent research scientists....

Clermont College provides a good interactive practice test using Punnett squares.

This site from Palomar College provides a good background on exactly what Mendel did. Vocabulary links throughout make this a very good introduction article for genetics.

This site explains genetic beliefs before and after Mendel, and also includes a section on Mendel himself and his experiments, entitled, "The Monk and his Peas".

A simulation where students flip coins to mimic how parents pass genetic traits to their offspring through heredity. This activity also illustrates the difference between dominant and recessive genes, and how they interact with each...

Explore the genetics of plants discovered by Gregor Mendel in the nineteenth century. These interactives will walk users through the planting and growth of pea plants, possible combinations of plans to alter traits, predict the results...

First, students toss coins to determine what traits a set of mouse parents possess, such as fur color, body size, heat tolerance, and running speed. Next they use coin tossing to determine the traits a mouse pup born to these parents...

Site allows users to learn interesting information about their genes based on his/her physical traits. Provides a brief explanation of how a person's genotype is determined.

This set of seven activities will proved a thorough review of Mendel's work. The interactive experiments are easy to follow and drive home the concepts.

Learn how the genes inherited from two parents can be recombined in their offspring in this simulation activity. In addition, investigate the probabilities of passing on inherited genetic disorders.

Understand the basics behind Mendelian genetics.

This site, which is provided for by the University of Arizona, gives problems online that correspond to basic Mendelian genetics. Test your knowledge once you've read about Mendel and accessed the links to the various subjects covered in...

This article from DNA from the beginning is loaded with goodies about genetics and DNA. Starting with Mendel all the way through the concept of DNA, you will see how life is given certain characteristics. Some animations and audio clips...

This site from Palomar College provides an online practice quiz includes history as well as some of the genetics. Includes feedback. A great learning and practice site.

Find out how Gregor Mendel's experiments led him to be known as the father of genetics.

Historical perspective on Mendel's contribution. Spends a little time setting up what the current beliefs of Mendel's day were and how he changed things with what he did.

Defines heredity, DNA, and chromosomes and discusses Gregor Mendel, the "father of genetics".

A complete, student-paced lesson on genetics and inheritance. Students work their way through illustrations and animated tutorials, and answer review questions along the way. There is a self-checking quiz at the end of the lesson.
