Test My Genes Lab: Students Use Their Traits to Practice Punnett Squares - NGSS
In Brief: The lab proceeds as follows1. Students complete a short matching section using important genetics terms2. Students read about five different human traits (Interlacing of fingers, PTC tasting, Presence of Palmaris Longus Muscle, Hair Texture, and Color Vision)3. Students attempt to determine their genotpyes, based upon their phenotypes, and the information in the lab.4. Students perform Punnett Squares using their genotypes, in order to make predictions about future generationsA. NEXT

Sex-Linked Inheritance Interactive Tutorial and Punnett Squares
Genetics is at the heart of modern biology. This tutorial will guide students through the sex-linked inheritance (X-linked recessive) pattern. The tutorial begins with a review of Mendelian genetics and then proceeds into the rules and patterns of X-linked inheritance. Along the way, students will meet 3 fictional families, each with a different history of a sex-linked disorder. Students will guide the families through genetic counseling and reveal the likelihood that each couple could pass on t

Meiosis in Human Cells PowerPoint Animation
New and Improved!
This animation has literally been years in the making. The previous version was nice but it always bothered me that it did not include crossing over, which is a major stage of meiosis.
This updated meiosis animation follows a diploid human cell as it undergoes meiosis in order to make 4 haploid cells. Other online meiosis animations will typically show a cell with only a few chromosomes undergo meiosis. This animation shows a cell with 46 chromosomes undergo meiosis! This wa

Persuading with Data: Using data bias to your advantage
The activity is designed as a follow-up to my Data Bias activity (posted for free). Student use what they learned about data bias to create data presentations (graphs, charts) that help prove their point. Multiple scenarios are given where students are trying to convince their parents that their grades/behavior aren't bad.
This activity helps students internalize the power of data bias and makes them more likely to look out for this bias in the real world. This makes for a really fun homew

Coaster Lab
This lesson uses the Jason Digital Lab Coaster Creator to teach students about the transfer of potential and kinetic energy. Students will construct a roller coaster and then make modifications to improve the design. If the coaster does not have enough energy it will not make it to the end and too much energy will cause a crash. The lab sheet includes questions, drawing the coaster, and a data table for students to easily compare multiple trials.
