Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Students investigate how Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium is established and what assumptions and conditions are necessary to reach Equilibrium. They model alleles using materials such as index cards, M & M's and goldfish.

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium According to Hoyle:
Students gain a feeling for the significance of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium without using algebra but participating in an interactice game.

Hardy-Weinberg Lab Data
The ten slides give multiple examples of Genetic Drift, or cases of particular genetic populations. Each set of data requires an explanation and the allele frequency changes should be easy for your students to calculate. Â

The Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Students act out a drama in this lesson on one aspect of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. They are to follow all stage directions precisely and give it their best effort to get across the main points of the play.

Establishing Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Students study how Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium was established and what assumptions and conditions are necessary to reach Equilibrium. They record class data on their charts. Frequencies are calculated.

How To Use Hardy-Weinberg to Find Gene Frequencies in s Wild Population
Students explore the gene frequency in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium experiments. They inquire into the studies of both black and gray squirrels. Basically the population genetics of certain squirrel populations. The species of each are...

Allele and Phenotype Frequencies in Rock Pocket Mouse Populations
In the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, some tiny creatures show just how quickly natural selection can turn a mutation into an advantageous adaptation. Watch a video about rock pocket mice, who show that one small change can make all...

Population Genetics
Genetic variation shows the health of a population, yet cheetahs show very little variation over that last 10,000 years. Scholars learn the importance of genetic variation in populations after viewing an informative presentation. It...
