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 perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

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.

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.

In this two-part activity, learners will extract their own DNA from their cheek cells and learn how DNA is analyzed and used to solve crimes.
