Young scientists explore Gregor Mendel's work on pea plants, his laws of segregation and independent assortment. They work through genetic problems and then finish by looking at Huntington's disease and genetic testing. 

Who is Gregor Mendel? Learn about his early career, his famous pea experiment, and the laws he created. This resource is a bit dry, so choose a specific clip or create a listening guide to engage learners.

Darwin and others hypothesized evolution, but they never explained how it worked genetically. The video introduces Mendel and his hypothesis, which scientists have now proved. It explains how he created the hypothesis and what...

What did Gregor Mendel say when he founded genetics? Woopea! The video introduces Gregor Mendel to viewers. It details his initial experiments with peas and his understanding of genetics.

Mendel discovered that you inherit each gene from either parent, but not both. The video, part of a playlist on Genetics from Fuse School, explains how this applies to solving Punnett squares. It walks through the process of solving and...

Gregor Mendel, famous for his research into pea plants that founded the field of genetics, is featured in a mini-biography that presents an overview of his life, education, and experiments.

Young scientists generally love to learn how certain traits can be explained by a direct combination of alleles from their parents. Here, they can examine how a phenotype is often expressed when one allele is recessive and the other is...

Sometimes trailblazers of science aren't famous like Darwin or Pasteur. Sometimes they're humble Abbots, just growing peas in the back of their Abbey. This is the story of Gregor Mendel and how his work was done, lost, then found again....
