Teach Engineering: The Benefits of Biodiversity
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...

Bio Man Biology: Genetics and Meiosis Quizzes
A multiple-choice quiz on genetics terms and concepts.
Science Buddies
Science Buddies: Pedigree Analysis: A Family Tree of Traits
Some characteristics, like the shape of your hairline, whether your earlobes are attached or detached, and whether or not you have freckles are inherited from your parents. In this science project you will learn about Mendelian traits,...

Teach Engineering: Mice Rule! (Or Not)
Students explore the relationships between genetics, biodiversity, and evolution through a simple activity involving hypothetical wild mouse populations. First, students toss coins to determine what traits a set of mouse parents...

PBS
Pbs Learning Media: Mendel's Laws of Genetic Inheritance
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.
University of Maryland
Univ. Of Maryland Baltimore Cty/biology Century
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.
