The Biology Project: Human Biology: Color Blindness Problem Set

Break your class in to the general structure and function of the brain. Brainiacs discuss what they know about it and create personalized brain development timelines. They also take a true-false, pre-assessment quiz to get them thinking...

Explore human anatomy and physiology using models. Scholars study systems of the human body and design a display for a museum exhibit. To complete the activity, individuals create analogous models of their chosen human body systems.

At one point, all mammals carried only two color receptors, but now most humans carry three. An informative presentation and hands-on activity demonstrate how this evolved through genetics. By participating in the activity, pupils...

In cooperative groups, middle schoolers contemplate the probability of 18 different situations occurring. After they make predictions, they compare them to the actual risk factors. This eye-opening exercise demonstrates that the odds of...

An informative video offers a brief overview of the 11 systems in the human body. It gives a brief description of each before pointing out their interdependence. 

Learn about the different types of color blindness and see a few simple tests that are used to diagnose this condition.

A collection of interactive, self-checking quizzes on human body systems. Covers muscular, skeletal, circulatory, nervous, and respiratory systems.

Could a virus be the key to reversing color blindness in humans? Some researchers believe so, and have even tested it out on monkeys. Learn more about the experiment and its effects in a short video that could accompany a lesson on gene...

This site provides basic information on human genetics and reproduction using tutorials, simulations, images and quizzes. There are also links to other worthwhile sites.
