In this game (on pages 14-21), learners explore how each human being inherits genetic traits such as eye color.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this game, learners cross off or color bingo squares in response to questions about their traits.

In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will determine whether they are "tasters" or "non-tasters", test selected individuals from their families and peer group for the trait, and chart

In this activity, learners extract DNA from a strawberry and discover that DNA is in the food they eat.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

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

This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

In this activity, learners make their own edible DNA double helix out of candy and find out about the shape of DNA.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

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

In this biology activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners use yarn and sticky labels to build a model of a DNA strand. They discover that DNA is very long, very skinny, and packs well into cells.

In this activity, learners construct a 3-D paper model depicting how histone, acetyl and methyl molecules control access to DNA and affect gene DNA expression.

This activity (on pages 7-13) has pairs of learners survey an array of similarities and differences between them.

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique. This activity allows you to see long, stringy strands of DNA extracted from wheat germ.

In this activity, learners take on the role of various parts of the cell in order to model the process of protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.
