Evolution in Plane Sight
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

Shoe Dichotomous Key
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity), learners will develop their own version of a tool used by biologists, a dichotomous key, by collecting all their left shoes.

Design a Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

An Inventory of My Traits
Source Institutions
In this genetics meets math activity, learners take inventories of their own easily-observable genetic traits and compare those inventories with other learners in groups.

Handy Family Tree
Source Institutions
In this bilingual (English/Spanish) activity, learners create family trees by tracing the hands of their family members.

Generations of Traits
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners track and record the passage of colored "pompom traits" through three generations of gingerbread people.

Guess My Rule
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a guessing game to explore classification.

Human Traits
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate variations in human traits. This allows learners' natural curiosity about their identity to draw them into the study of heredity.

Making Babies
Source Institutions
This activity is designed to introduce learners to genes, genotypes and simple inheritance patterns.

Dinosaur Count and Sort
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners sort and count different colored plastic dinosaurs by various attributes including tail length, whether or not the dinosaurs have horns, etc.

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