An Inventory of My Traits
In this biology activity, students identify and describe a number of easily observable genetic traits and compare the traits they have with other students. Then they identify and describe that some traits are common while others are not...
Curated OER
Let's Get Square
Students predict possible phenotypic and genotypic outcomes for avariety of common plant hybrids. They review and explain the characteristics of dominant and recessive traits and explore Mendelian genetics. Students plot the possible...

Rock, Paper, Scissors
Fifth graders explore genetic traits. In this genetic traits lesson, 5th graders investigate dominant and recessive traits. Students identify similar traits between a parent organism and its offspring.
Curated OER
Genetic Plant Crossing
Learners explore biotechnology and examine how it is used to improve plants and animals. In this genetic plant lesson plan students investigate how plants are crossed to create a plant with more desired traits.

Human Heredity Vocabulary
Ninth graders review the terms "aneuploidy," "fetus," and "karyotype" in this vocabulary worksheet, which includes three multiple choice questions about each term. This activity could be expanded into a more developed vocabulary lesson...
Curated OER
What is Genetics?
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders identify which seed color is dominant in the given chart and explain why it is. Then they create a Punnett square showing the alleles of the parent plants and first generation of offspring.
Curated OER
Genetics Since Mendel
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders describe how two alleles can produce three phenotypes. Then they create a Punnett square showing the possible offspring of red and white cattle. Students also determine the genotypes and phenotype...
Curated OER
Human Genetics
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders create a Punnett square to show the possible offspring of a carrier female and a normal male for color blindness. Then they draw a pedigree for the family and indicate whether the daughter is...
Curated OER
What is Genetics?
In this biology instructional activity, 9th graders name two forms of the trait for seed shape observed by Mendel. Then they determine the percentage of the possible types of offspring that have the same genotype as the parents. Students...
