"Chips" Off the Old Block?
Students study using analogies between common items or occurrences and science concepts. They use the analogy of cookie recipes to that of the DNA "recipes" for living things to help us explain more about mutations.
Curated OER
The Code of Life
Students study genes, DNA and medical research. They watch "The Code of Life" video and answer discussion questions regarding the transcription and translation of DNA and how errors in these processes and mutations in DNA can produce...
Curated OER
The Living Environment
Ninth graders study the work of Alice Huang and complete activities on mutations. For this investigative lesson students complete several activities and discuss their findings at the end.
Curated OER
Evolution and Genes
In this psychology worksheet, students complete 5 short answer questions about traits, mutations and the theory of natural selection.
Curated OER
Evolution
In this evolution worksheet, students review genetic variability, gene mutations, biodiversity and adaptations. This worksheet has 22 fill in the blank and 10 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Gene Control in Prokaryotes
In this gene control worksheet, students use the example of the lactose operon structure to describe what happens when this structure is absent or mutated. This worksheet has 21 fill in the blank statements.
Curated OER
Chromosomes
In this chromosomes instructional activity, students complete a crossword puzzle with 33 questions about genetic mutation in chromosomes. They identify traits associated with certain genes.
