Interactive Meiosis
Students study meiosis and the stages of mitosis. In this meiosis lesson students divide into groups and complete an activity.
Curated OER
Meiosis
Students review the main stages of mitosis. They view an overhead comparing the process of mitosis to meiosis. Students use pre-cut pictures of each stage of meiosis and create cards for use in creating a flip book. Students name ways...

Human Development: The First Trimester & Developmental Malformations
Students, analyze and discuss cleft lip, cleft palate, anencephaly, spina bifida and septal defects in the heart--well-known malformations that can occur in the first trimester of prenatal devalopment. They play the review game, Fetal...
Curated OER
Gametogenesis and Fertilization
Students explore how this module focuses on part of the cycle of alternation of generations: meiosis to produce haploid spores and fertilization to produce a diploid zygote which grows into the adult plant.

Dragon Genetics Lab-Principles of Mendelian Genetics
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.
Curated OER
Stem Cell Bioethics
Students study the steps of embryonic development. They distinguish between the advantages/disadvantages of embryonic stem cells vs. adult stem cells and discuss the ethical implications of stem cell research.
