Can organic molecules come from a pre-biotic environment? Stanley Lloyd Miller proved it is possible when exactly the right conditions exist. Learn about his experiment and the other experiments later building off of it that changed the...

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...

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...

Yellow and blue make green—unless you're studying the inheritance of genetic traits. An interactive lesson explains the difference between blended traits and pure traits and gives examples of their occurrence. The resource includes a...

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...

Take a walk in the animated "Mendel Park" to discover which traits are genetic and which are a combination of genetics and upbringing.

An animation introducing the basic concepts of cells, DNA, recessive inheritance, and Punnett squares.

Geniventure engages students in exploring heredity, genetics, and the protein-to-trait relationship by breeding and studying virtual dragons. Students play through six levels of challenges, conducting simulated experiments that generate...

At this site see an online visual of meiosis, fertilization, and inheritance and play a game.

This simulation can be used to test the heredity of two traits; eye color and the presence of a tail.

This Science game about genes was created using the What2Learn game machine. The objective of the game is to correctly answer the questions about genetics. Students should learn genetics and heredity before playing the game.

This unit discusses the following topics: cloning, transgenic, gene therapy, genetic code, human genome and DNA replication. It contains 19 interactive activities.
