Pre-Hardy-Weinberg
Learners examine the inheritance of ABO blood groups. In this investigative activity students perform a lab and show how natural selection can alter the gene frequencies in a population.
Curated OER
Blood, I Presume?
Students explain the value of blood in trials. In this DNA lesson students work together to collect and share information and ideas that they come up with after learning how to distinguish blood from other stains.
Curated OER
Multiple Alleles
Students observe models of the ABO blood system including erythrocytes, antigens, and antibodies. They investigate the antigens that result from certain allele combinations and move antibodies to determine whether agglutination occurs...
Curated OER
Teaching Multiple Alleles
Students view a simple ABO blood system for the introduction of this subject using concrete models of eythrocytes (red blood cells, or RBC's), antigens, and antibodies. They can physically see the antigens that result from certain...
Curated OER
Heredity
In this science worksheet, young scholars find the answers to various types of heredity problems. They use the sheet to set goals for completing the unit.

Cardiac Arrest! Using Forensics to Investigate Cardiovascular Anatomy and Function
Students identify the different parts and functions of the cardiovascular system. In this forensics lesson, students collect and analyze evidence on a fictional crime. They describe different causes of cardiac arrest.
Curated OER
Martian Mummies
Students participate in "Raiders of the Future", a role play about futuristic scientists sending a spaceship to Mars for research and exploration. They collect geological samples for analysis, discover the ruins of an ancient...
Curated OER
Antigens
Students examine antigens including ones found in humans. In this immune lesson students complete several experiments in relation to antigens and antibodies.
