Dominate a lesson on genetic traits. Young scholars learn about the difference between dominant and recessive traits with an interactive lesson. An animation demonstrates Mendel's work on the inheritance of traits, and interactive...

Some traits only exist in males and some only in females. Pupils learn how the location of genes on sex chromosomes determines them using an interactive lesson. An animation illustrates how scientists know this to be true and shows how...

Rules are not meant to be broken in genetics. Scholars learn to build Punnett squares to track the inheritance of dominant and recessive traits in an interactive animation activity. Online questions help individuals reflect on their...

Mia wishes her blue hair was inherited so that she wouldn't have to dye it, but Sam explains that eye color is. The video does not expound upon the concept of alleles. It does, however, describe inherited traits vs. learned behavior, and...

In this online interactive reading comprehension worksheet, students respond to 15 multiple choice questions based on Tristam Shandy. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

Frederick Sanger won two Nobel prizes for protein sequencing and DNA sequencing. Young scientists learn about Dr. Sanger's research and amazing discoveries. They read an article and a biography, view videos and animations, and apply...

In this language arts worksheet, students complete an online interactive exercise in which missing words are filled in to make a text complete. Students read the text about why dogs bark and fill in a word of their choosing in each of...

In this online interactive reading comprehension worksheet, students respond to 10 multiple choice questions about Swift's Gulliver's Travels. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

A decent lab activity which could be used to introduce the concept of dominance and autosomal dominance. This site provides a coin toss activity to learn about Mendelian Genetics.

Breed pure mice with known genotypes that exhibit specific fur and eye colors, and learn how traits are passed on via dominant and recessive genes. Punnett squares can be used to predict results. (Free usage is limited to five minutes...

Manipulate the environment to see how it plays a role in the rapid evolutionary changes in rock pocket mice.

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

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...

This interactive activity, adapted from the Dolan DNA Learning Center, uses Punnett squares to illustrate Mendel's laws of inheritance and how a particular gene combination results in a 3-to-1 ratio of dominant-to-recessive traits.
