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

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

In this forensics activity, learners solve a mystery using “DNA” taken from the scene of the crime.

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

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

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

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

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

In this activity, learners work in groups to match craft sticks that represent chromosomes. Learners must define critical attributes of their chromosomes as they look for matching chromosomes.
