Students view a video on DNA. They discuss mitosis, meiosis and fertilization. They use strips of paper to simulate fertilization and analyze the genotype and phenotype of the combined chromosomes.

In this reproduction learning exercise, learners will review the genetic processes in sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction by answering 6 true or false statements. Then students will complete 2 short answer questions about the...

Students recognize the concepts of evolution and natural selection as well as cladistics and phylogenetics. They observe the process of regeneration in a sea anemone to simulate asexual reproduction.

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...

In this development worksheet, students compare the characteristics of mitosis and meiosis. Students review the male and female reproductive organs and their functions. This worksheet has 4 graphic organizer, 6 short answer, and 16 fill...

Seventh graders explore the cell cycle. They view pictures of different stages of mitosis and explain why cells reproduce. They identify the five phases of mitosis: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

In this cell cycle worksheet, students fill in the blank with information about the cycle of a cell. Students sketch several drawings of different phases in the cell cycle.

Learners identify the purpose of cellular mitosis. They work in groups of four to use images of animal and plant cell mitosis to illustrate each step in the mitosis process on their graphic organizer.

In this reproduction worksheet, students review the processes involved with sexual reproduction in animals and pollination in plants. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank, 5 true or false, and 9 short answer questions.

Students compare mitosis and meiosis with regard to chromosome number in parent cells versus daughter cells, types of cells produced, total number of cells produced, and the number of divisions. In groups, identify and differentiate the...

A vocabulary note-taking handout for the processes surrounding mitosis and meiosis. This is a Word document, so if formatting consistency matters to you, editing will be easy. A few of the words have definitions pre-populated, so...

Make reviewing evolution, cell division, genetics, cell structure, and scientific method more fun! Science Jeopardy allows teams to choose a category for the question they will address. If you complete the entire game, learners will have...

In this cell division worksheet, students answer 15 multiple choice questions about both mitosis and meiosis. Topics include the outcomes of the processes, the phases of the processes and steps within each process.

In this plant life cycle worksheet, students compare the life cycles of mosses, ferns, and conifers. This worksheet has 15 fill in the blank and 10 short answer questions.

Students discuss the importance of reproduction of cells. They identify and describe the stages of Mitosis. They discover what happens to chromosomes and DNA during reproduction.

Bring the excitement of genetics to scholars with a dynamic hands-on meiosis modeling experience. During the activity, biologists follow step-by-step procedures to build chromosomes, model independent assortment, learn about crossing...

These two pages cover the gamut of topics regarding reproduction and DNA replication. Structures, processes, functions, and reasons for them are tested here. The questions are mostly multiple choice, but there are also a few...

Students compare and contrast the processes of spermatogenesis and oogenesis. This lesson uses the KWL+ strategy to promote reading. The + used here is the Venn diagram.

Beginning biologists prepare a sugar solution for yeast cells to live in, and divide it into two different jars. Samples from each jar are viewed with a microscope, and then one jar is placed in a warm environment and the other a cold...

In this meiosis worksheet, student complete the blanks describing the process of meiosis. Learners draw a diagram of homologous chromosomes.

Students practice looking at their genetics to inquire about their past. In groups, they determine their recessive and dominant genes and plot their height on a graph. They compare and contrast the processes of meiosis and mitosis. ...

Young scholars explore genetics through various hands-on activities. In this biology lesson, students predict the probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes using the Punnett Square. They explain the causes of genetic abnormalities.

Students plant seeds in order to investigate and explore the questions: "How do seed companies develop varieties of plants?" and "What is the ideal plant?" Students will study related vocabulary and sketch seeds as they emerge. Students...

Learners observe and record observations of whether a person is a taster or nontaster. They test selected individuals from their families and peer groups and chart all findings to determine which trait (e.g. taster or non-taster) is...
