Onion DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells using simple materials.

Yabba-Dabba You
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore genes and traits. Learners investigate their fingerprints and learn how to categorize them.

Scavenger Hunt: A Group Collection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are divided into teams.

Homologous Shoes?

This activity is designed to introduce learners to genes, genotypes and simple inheritance patterns.

Coral Spawning Globe
Source Institutions
This activity models the mass coral spawning event that takes place at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary every August.

Family Traits and Traditions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a matching game with their families to discover common inherited traits and traditions. Learners distinguish between inherited traits and learned traditions.
