Curated OER
DNA Replication
Students create a model of DNA and simulate replication with their models in an activity that uses licorice, colored marshmallows, and toothpicks. Students also label a diagram of replication and indicate major parts of the DNA molecule.

Basic Introduction to Foundation of Life: Genes, Genetics and Genetic Diseases
Students are introduced to genetics along with genetic diseases and heredity. In groups, they complete a Punnett Square to determine the dominant and recessive genes. After viewing diagrams, they identify the characteristics of DNA and...

Sexual Versus Asexual Reproduction
Students discuss the prefix "a" as in atypical and abiotic. They coy definitions of sexual and asexual reproduction into their notes. Students use prior knowledge of mitosis, meiosis, and previous diagrams to describe what happens in...
