Sequencing the Cystic Fibrosis Gene: A Simulation
Ninth graders determine nucleotide sequences. They identify those base sequences that are normal, those that are normal variants and those that cause cystic fibrosis. Students use DNA nucleotide sequences to determine amino acid...

Genetics
A handout on genetic inheritance begins with a reading on alleles and how they can result in albinism. Junior geneticists learn to complete Punnett squares and participate in a coin toss simulation of allele pairing. They also learn...

Dragon Genetics Lab-Principles of Mendelian Genetics
Young scholars study genetic traits using popsicle sticks as chromosomes. In this biology activity, students explain how traits are inherited from parents. They differentiate dominant and recessive genes.

DNA Detectives
Fifth graders define dominant and recessive genes and that they have DNA from their mother and father. In this inherited traits lesson plan, 5th graders complete a punnet square based on their parents traits. Students decorate their...

EMS Lesson 1: Variety is the Spice of Life
Learners discern that dominant and recessive traits occur in a variety of combinations in any given group of people.
Curated OER
Variety is the Spice of Life
Students explore Gregor Mendel's work with genetics. They complete a survey of their friends and family in order to identify dominant and recessive traits. Once their surveys are complete, students discuss the ways in which dominant...

Inheritance of Genetic Disorders
Learners explore inheritance patterns of diseases. In this genetic instructional activity, students explain how recessive genes may cause human disorders. They identify and research five genetic disorders and present their findings to...

Fun with Heredity
Students explore basic concepts of heredity and collaborate to see genetics in action through several activities provided in the instructional activity. Inherited traits are examined and identified as dominant or recessive.

Peter Rabbit Meets Charles Darwin
Ninth graders explore evolution. They study a cartoon scenario of a rabbit population in which there is selection and a change of gene frequency. Students discuss frequencies, evolution, and speciation.

Just Like Me
Students review genetic concept of traits, define and discuss phenotypes and genotypes, examine differences between single gene traits and multiple gene traits, and compare and record phenotypes with every other student in class.

Inheritance of Genetic Disorders
Students simulate the inheritance patterns of several different diseases caused by recessive genes. They identify and research five genetic disorders they would like to know more about and present their findings to the class.

Genetics in Harry Potter’s World Lesson 2
Can we find the phenotypes and genotypes of magical ability for the characters in Harry Potter? Of course, but first we need to understand incomplete or blended dominance, co-dominance, multiple alleles, and regulatory genes. This...
