A Recipe for Traits
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners create and decode a “DNA recipe” for a dog by randomly selecting strips of paper that represent DNA.

A Tree of Genetic Traits
Source Institutions
Learners mark their traits for tongue rolling, PTC tasting (a harmless, bitter chemical), and earlobe attachment on tree leaf cut-outs.

Chromosome Models: Karyotyping
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can have a tactile opportunity to construct a karyotype, an organized model of an organism’s chromosomes, conveying the chromos

Make Your Own DNA
Source Institutions
Learners match puzzle pieces to outlines of a DNA strand. The puzzle pieces represent the four chemicals making up DNA base pairs: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

Home Molecular Genetics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners extract DNA from their own cheek cells, then create a rudimentary DNA profile similar to those seen on crime scene dramas.

DNA Nanotechnology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

Reebops
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners create imaginary creatures known as "Reebops" to explore the relationships between genes and inherited traits.
