This site explains genetic beliefs before and after Mendel, and also includes a section on Mendel himself and his experiments, entitled, "The Monk and his Peas".

A simulation where students flip coins to mimic how parents pass genetic traits to their offspring through heredity. This activity also illustrates the difference between dominant and recessive genes, and how they interact with each...

An interactive Punnett Square calculator which allows students to work out patterns of inheritance for any autosomal recessive genetic trait or disease.

Explore the genetics of plants discovered by Gregor Mendel in the nineteenth century. These interactives will walk users through the planting and growth of pea plants, possible combinations of plans to alter traits, predict the results...

First, students toss coins to determine what traits a set of mouse parents possess, such as fur color, body size, heat tolerance, and running speed. Next they use coin tossing to determine the traits a mouse pup born to these parents...

Site allows users to learn interesting information about their genes based on his/her physical traits. Provides a brief explanation of how a person's genotype is determined.

Learn how the genes inherited from two parents can be recombined in their offspring in this simulation activity. In addition, investigate the probabilities of passing on inherited genetic disorders.

This set of seven activities will proved a thorough review of Mendel's work. The interactive experiments are easy to follow and drive home the concepts.

In addition to a description of Hurler's Syndrome, this site gives biographical information about a list of people associated with the disease, including those who have done significant research.
