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

Transcription and Translation Model Activity
NEW and IMPROVED! I updated the previous version of this activity to make it more user friendly. This updated version should take about 1-1.5 hours to complete.
I really like this activity and am quite proud to share it with the TpT community. This is a paper model activity where students will be guided through the steps of transcription and translation and then also learn about mutations. Students first begin by cutting and gluing paper strips of DNA. Then, they will transcribe the DNA into mR

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

A Pail Full of Oysters - Scientific Method Inquiry Activity
This is one of my favorite activities for teaching the Scientific Method! For the activity/lab, I set-up 8 stations around the room, each with:
1 - an empty oyster pail (Chinese take out container)
2 - a sealed oyster pail containing two random objects
3 - a collection of 10 objects that could be inside (2 of which are)
I have my students in pairs (or groups of 4 depending on class size) go to a station and try to figure out which two objects are inside the oyster pail. For this, they must r

Density Tower Lab
Calculate the density of 8 mystery liquids. Draw in color what each mystery liquid looks like in its numbered box. First, measure the mass (minus the mass of the beaker ____ g). Then, use the beaker itself to measure the volume. Lastly, calculate the density and identify the liquid using the formula: D = m / vOnce you have identified all substances, work with the teacher to create a density tower!

Build a Model of a Frog
As an alternative to dissection or as an enhancement or evaluating tool after dissecting, this activity has students build a model of a frog with clay. Students use textbooks and the internet to find information about the external and internal anatomy of the frog. The objective is to learn about comparative, structural and functional anatomy. Directions are simple, allowing for students to come up with their own model.

Online Simulation of Natural Selection = Evodots!
This is a great computer model of what factors affect natural selection. Students are "predators" and eat dots on the screen. They collect data on how the population changes over time and how variation, population size, and heritability of a trait affect how the population changes over time. The guide I've created here leads students through the simulation and provides embedded as well as summative questions to check for understanding.
