Young scholars investigate different factors that affect plant growth. They research the effects of water supply, radiant energy, air temperature, and soil temperature. Students also gather facts that influence plant nutrition that...

Young scholars make a yeast dihybrid cross and follow two forms of each of two traits: red growth versus cream color, and tryptophan-dependent versus tryptophan-independent.

Students use this exercise to help achieve a working knowledge of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium without recourse to algebra. After participating in this activity, students gain a feeling for the significance of the Hardy-Weinberg...

Students model the plasticity of neural pathways for memory in the brain. They simulate the cell activity according to dots on cards that they are given. They complete various simulations of different cell combinations.

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 observe and record observations of whether a person is a taster or nontaster. They test selected individuals from their families and peer groups and chart all findings to determine which trait (e.g. taster or non-taster) is...

Fourth graders investigate the concept of using punnett squares in the determination of the offspring.They collect drawings and pictures and create a collection for student science journals.

Students review the concepts of incomplete dominance, co-dominance and multiple alleles. As a class, they are introduced to the concept of sex-linked genes and how they are passed to offspring. To end the instructional activity, they...

In this genetic learning exercise, students examine how gene frequency changes in a population of organisms. After completing 5 pre-lab questions, they work in pairs to collect data and answer 5 additional post-lab questions.

In this science experiment worksheet, 6th graders answer 5 multiple choice questions about the Hahnemann control experiment and complete 3 graphic organizer that relate to the experiment.

In this cell division activity, learners answer 15 multiple choice questions about both mitosis and meiosis. Topics include the outcomes of the processes, the phases of the processes and steps within each process.

Students read and discuss the background of plants, seeds, and gene banks and grow seeds on their own. In this seeds lesson plan, students also use maps to identify seed banks and research plant farmers.

High schoolers determine the physical and chemical factors that affect plant growth. In this biology lesson, students explain the role of hormones in plants. They investigate how competition with other plants affect their growth.

Students study genetic traits using popsicle sticks as chromosomes. For this biology lesson, students explain how traits are inherited from parents. They differentiate dominant and recessive genes.

Studnets, in groups, analyze data regarding genetic and nongenetic relationships of I.Q. They make observations and discuss correlations from a diagram. Cooperative learning teams discuss a given set of questions and present information...

Students describe and apply the Mendellian principles of genetics, focusing predominantly on dominant and recessive genes. They demonstrate how two parents contribute genes and how those genes appear in their offspring. They describe...

For this literacy worksheet, students find the words that are related to the concept that is the theme of the word search puzzle.

Students determine their inherited characteristics from their parents. In this biology lesson, students study the life of Mendel using an interactive website. They differentiate dominant and recessive characteristics.

Students study using analogies between common items or occurrences and science concepts. They use the analogy of cookie recipes to that of the DNA "recipes" for living things to help us explain more about mutations.

High schoolers 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.

Learners explore plant DNA.

Learners examine the effects on motor functions in mice. They make observations and graph their data. They analyze the data and draw conclusions in each of the three experiments.

Learners 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 work collaboratively in small learning groups to create some representation of an aspect of Mendelian genetics in this review lesson for the Biology classroom. The lesson includes task cards for each small group and a...
