In this dihybrid cross worksheet, students are given four crosses to complete using punnett squares. They determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring.

In this genetics worksheet, learners complete a crossword puzzle by determining the terms associated with the 24 clues given. High schoolers review terms such as phenotype, genotype, alleles, and Mendel.

Students examine family structures. For this family structure lesson, students discover things about their own families and those of their classmates. They make a chart as they discuss nature versus nurture, complete a worksheet about...

In this science worksheet, students find the answers to various types of heredity problems. They use the sheet to set goals for completing the unit.

Students cross wild type flies and mutants, both purchased from a biological supply house (Carolina Biological Supply or Wards, for example) in groups from lesson one.

Pupils analyze genetic characteristics in a given family tree through the F2 generation. Students apply prior knowledge from Gregor Mendel's study with pea plants and his Laws of Heredity to answer questions.

Students explore neurological disorders. They examine the presence and absence of discernible genes. Students describe neruological diseases and draw faces of affected persons. They play a human neurology disorders learning game.

Students view a video that reviews Mendelian genetics. They discuss the Hardy-Weinberg Law and use Popsicle sticks to simulate genetic variations and ratios in offspring.

Young scholars learn the difference between a genotype and a phenotype. They demonstrate that recombination of gametes (coins) will result in the formation of unique individuals.

Students experiment with genes and environment for a population of "Toothpick Fish."

Young scholars, in groups, research, analyze and synthesize information on genetic diseases. After watching a video on genetics, groups perform research on a variety of genetic diseases and present their findings to the class.

In this genetic worksheet, high schoolers will complete 4 fill in the blank questions about selective breeding and determining genotypes. Then students will use a Punnett square to determine the genotype for two different breeding...

The purpose of this instructional activity is to slowly introduce the Hardy-Weinberg Law and population genetics to your learners after you have completed Mendelian genetics. Using this format, you ease the students into the concept by...

Fourth graders investigate the style of diary writing as its own genre of literature. They read Harriet The Spy in order to have a text for this literature study. Students use the skill of prediction to preview the story, and then...

For this genes worksheet, students determine how the gender of a baby is produced plus explore sex-linked disorders such as hemophilia. This worksheet has 20 fill in the blank and 8 short answer questions.

In this literacy worksheet, students find the words that are related to the concept that is the theme of the word search puzzle.

Young scholars describe some aspects of known genetic defects on the human neurological condition. They participate in a variety of exercises including drawings, games, and analogies.

Students study Mendelian genetic terms, locate and name loci on chromosomes, karyotype construction, inheritance patterns through families.

Explains what dominant and recessive traits are and how they work, and provides a list of single gene traits with the degree of manifestation if they are dominant or recessive. Also discusses co-dominance, incomplete dominance, polygenic...

Human-Genetics: A Worldwide Search for the Dominant Trait allows you to collect data and share your results with students around the world. Register your class, complete the student survey, participate in discussion boards, and interact...

There are many ways to learn about Gregor Mendel and his pea experiments. This interactive tutorial requires users to actually plant, grow, and cross different plants to observe their traits. Pedigrees are also used to help show dominant...

Some characteristics, like the shape of your hairline, whether your earlobes are attached or detached, and whether or not you have freckles are inherited from your parents. In this science project you will learn about Mendelian traits,...

An interactive Punnett Square inheritance calculator helps students work out patterns of recessive inheritance for a trait, such as straight or peaked hairline.

This site explains how to determine the chances of inheriting certain traits from our parents. It gives mathematical examples and exercises.
