Inheritance Word Search Puzzle
In this literacy activity, students find the words that are related to the concept that is the theme of the word search puzzle.
Curated OER
The Genetic Basis of Neurological Disorders
Students describe some aspects of known genetic defects on the human neurological condition. They participate in a variety of exercises including drawings, games, and analogies.
Curated OER
Human Inheritance
Learners analyze genetic characteristics in a given family tree through the F2 generation. Students apply prior knowledge from Gregor Mendel's study with pea plants and his Laws of Heredity to answer questions.
Curated OER
Blood Business
Students identify the different kinds of blood. In this biology lesson plan, students investigate the antigens, agglutinins and Rh factor using their own blood. They use Punnett squares to predict blood type of offspring.
Curated OER
Karyotypes & Chromosome Inheritance
Pupils study Mendelian genetic terms, locate and name loci on chromosomes, karyotype construction, inheritance patterns through families.
Curated OER
Online Research for a Genetic Disorder
In this genetics worksheet, students access a given website, chose a genetic disorder, and complete the 10 short answer questions about the disorder.

Khan Academy: Multiple Alleles, Incomplete Dominance, and Codominance
In the real world, genes often come in many versions (alleles). Alleles aren't always fully dominant or recessive to one another, but may instead display codominance or incomplete dominance.
