This multiple-choice and short-answer quiz covers chromosomes, genetic disorders, and more. The multiple choice section could work as a pretest, as well.

A three-page quiz about genetics, which includes Punnett squares, blood types, questions about Mendel and his contributions, and vocabulary comprehension. Use this for a study guide, a pretest/post-test, or a note-taking activity in...

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.

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.

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.

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

Students explore the concepts of phenotypes and genotypes.  In this genetics instructional activity students work together to pick a superhero and determine the traits of the offspring. 

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

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...

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

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 explore human behavior by participating in a class science game. In this human characteristics lesson, students identify different human traits that are passed down by each generation and the purpose each of them have. Students...

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

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...

In a class discussion format, the teacher presents background information about basic human genetics. The number of chromosomes in both body cells and egg and sperm cells is covered, as well as the concept of dominant and recessive...

Upper level discussion of several of Mendel's experiments and laws.

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...

In the real world, genes often come in many versions (alleles). Alleles aren't always fully dominant or recessive to one another, but may instead display codominance or incomplete dominance.

This lesson focuses on genetic inheritance including defining key terms such as chromosomes, alleles, DNA, genes, genome, and more. Links to a video and a test are provided.

Activity Overview Use the SciTools App to simulate a Punnett square. Make predictions about genetic crosses. Learn about the following concepts; genes, alleles, dominant alleles, recessive alleles, homozygous individuals, heterozygous...

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".
