PHENOTYPIC AND GENOTYPIC CHANGES IN BACTERIA
Learners use a rapid method to render the bacterium Escherichia coli "competent" in order to uptake plasmid DNA. They also have growth on the plain LB plates by the untransformed cells (which serve as controls). Students perform a cell...
Curated OER
Phenotypic and Genotypic Changes in Bacteria
Students investigate a rapid method to render the bacterium Escherichia coli "competent" to uptake plasmid DNA. They demonstrate the phenotypic changes associated with transformation. They perform a cell resuspension from the...

Genetics 4 Mutations
Students identify and illustrate how changes in DNA cause mutations and evaluate the significance of these changes. They illustrate a chromosomal mutation such as duplication, deletion, inversion, and translocation.
Curated OER
Mechanisms of Evolution
In this evolution activity, students will answer questions about population genetics and the theory of evolution of species. This activity has 15 true or false, 6 fill in the blank, and 4 short answer questions.

Case of the Threespine Stickleback
Pupils examine why some freshwater populations of stickleback fish. In this macroevolution lesson plan students read a study packet then answer questions.
Curated OER
Born of Blood: Inheritance of Blood Types
Students examine inheritance of blood types. In the chromosome lesson, students create a model of chromosome and predict the blood type of offspring.

A Separate Peace: Quiz
In this A Separate Peace worksheet, students answer 12 multiple choice questions about plot, characters, and theme of A Separate Peace by John Knowles.
Curated OER
Genetics: Knowledge Quiz
In this genetics quiz learning exercise, students complete a set of 10 multiple choice questions covering various concepts of genetics. A reference web site is given for additional resources.
Curated OER
Chromosomes
Students explore genetics, chromosomes and DNA. In this genetics activity students design a chromosome and identify a family tree through genetics.
Curated OER
Teacher Preparation Notes on Genetics
Students explore genetics through various hands-on activities. In this biology activity, students predict the probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes using the Punnett Square. They explain the causes of genetic abnormalities.
Curated OER
Heredity: Your Connection To The Past
Students investigate genetics and the process of reproduction in living organisms.
Curated OER
Human Genetics
This is a worksheet regarding human genetics where students can poll the class regarding specific traits.
Curated OER
A Spool Of Thread
Students describe a spool of light colored thread that the teacher holds in his/her hands. They are asked what substances (cotton and wood) are present and what structures (thread and spool) are present. The teacher conclude that the...

Electrophoretic Analysis: DNA Fingerprinting and Evolutionary Divergence
Students examine the principles of electrophoresis. They evaluate both the agarose and polyacrylamide system of molecular separation. In order to bring the concepts of genetics and evolution full circle from DNA to protein, students...
Curated OER
Reproduction and Heredity
Sixth graders investigate how traits are passed from parents to their offspring. They list things they have in common with family members, read key vocabulary terms, create a poster of shared physical and personality traits, and watch...
Curated OER
Making Babies
Students participate in a genetics activity in which they determine genotypes and phenotypes for given traits. They work with a partner and create babies based on their genotypes. Once traits for babies are determined, they write...
