Beginner's Guide to Punnett Squares

Have you ever wanted to play with a giant pendulum? An experiment allows small groups to do just that. They gather data and make observations as they complete the included worksheet. The lesson lays out each instruction including how...

Energize biologists with colorful images in an activity that captivates the imagination while demystifying the subject of cellular respiration. Participants build comprehension skills and access core content knowledge by analyzing text...

Physics stars will enjoy learning about the conservation of energy as you demonstrate gyroscope precession. The lecture is broken into five subtopics: cross product, rotating vectors, angular momentum, rotating rigid bodies, and torque...

Looking for a quick, hands-on activity to teach young scientists about Punnett squares through monohybrid crosses? then check out this one.

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...

Militaries throughout history have used topography information to plan strategies, yet many pupils today don't understand it. Scholars use Legos and a contour gauge to understand how to construct and visualize topographic profiles. This...

Do you need to pass along the concept of in a short amount of time? Learners view a short video segment that describes, in detail, the process and results of a dihybrid genetic cross through Punnett squares. They then conclude the...

Scholars briefly review meiosis and then apply these steps, through visuals, to Sordaria, a fungus that can be grown in class to support meiosis. The lesson emphasizes the importance of crossing over in meiosis and shows how to...

If you need a summary of all aspects of Mendelian genetics then this  slideshow is for you. The information included is essential for complete understanding of crosses, genotypes, phenotypes, and heredity.

Learners explore Punnett squares and illustrate specific genotypic and phenotypic genetic outcomes. After a class discussion, students predict the probability of a specific trait being passed on by using Punnett squares. They reveal the...
