DNA Structure, Function and Replication
Before a cell replicates, its DNA must replicate. Take advantage of a hands-on guided activity to teach budding scientists how this happens. Using a set of nucleotide cards, learners become the DNA and work to create matching strands...

DNA
Get up close and personal with DNA! A two-part hands-on activity has learners extract DNA from a small organism and then their own cheek cells. Scholars then explore DNA replication using questions to guide their analyses.
American Museum of Natural History
Nature or Nurture Quiz
Eighteen questions ask pupils whether certain behavior or trait is based on nature or nurture. Scholars take a quiz, reflect on their answers, then challenge a friend or family member to complete it.
Cornell University
Extracting DNA
Uncover the basics of DNA structure through exploration activities. Collaborative groups build DNA models and recreate the process of replication. Then, using plant cells such as peas or strawberries, they extract a DNA sample.

Mutations and Cancer
Students study how cancer cells mutate and affect cell division. In this investigative lesson students view a PowerPoint presentation learn the seven warning signs of cancer.
Curated OER
Genetic Disorders
Students examine how living cells create new cells and how genetic mutations can cause disorders and be inherited. In this genetic reproductionn instructional activity students create their own PowerPoint presentation.

DNA - The Double Helix
In this DNA worksheet, students read information about DNA and messenger RNA. Then students complete 16 short answer questions and color 2 images.
Curated OER
Heredity: Your Connection To The Past
Students investigate genetics and the process of reproduction in living organisms.
Curated OER
Genetics: Basics
Students study the basics of genetics and the father of genetics Gregor Mendel.
