[|Genetics] (Flipchart) This unit is on Mendelian inheritance. The laws of independent assortment and the law of segregation are covered. Simple Punnett squares and genetic disorders are covered.

[|Genetics: Tour of the Basics; Animation] (Weblink) This is a great tutorial on genetics. There are sections on DNA, genes, chromosomes, proteins, heredity, and traits.

[|Genetics] (Weblink) Great step by step animations of many concepts of genetics (check the listing on the right and tabs on the bottom)

[|Genetics] (Flipchart) Used as a main menu to cover various topics for high school level genetics course.

[|Genetics & Gregor Mendel] (Flipchart) Students will learn about Gregor Mendel and the role he played in genetic research.

[|Genetics: Crossing Pea Plants] (Weblink) Cross pea plants with Gregor Mendal to learn how traits are passed on.

[|Incomplete Dominance & Codominance] (Weblink) In this web lab, conduct corosses of peas, snapdragons, and lentil plants with certain traits to determine rules of dominance in genetics.

[|Genetic Crosses] (Flipchart) Flipchart lesson on Genetic Crosses and Punnett Squares

[|Genetics - Punnett Squares] (Flipchart) In this lesson Punnett Squares are used to illustrate genetic possibilities. There are exercises and assessment questions to use with Activotes.

[|Punnett Squares] (Flipchart) In this flipchart, students will analyze how biological traits are passed on to successive generations. Students will use Punnett Squares to predict the phenotype and genotype outcomes of a monohybrid genetic cross.

[|Punnett Squares Virtual Lab] (Weblink) This virtual lab allows students to construct and analyze Punnett Squares to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses and analyze expected geneotypes and phenotypes that result from each cross. Great practice tool!

[|Punnet Square Tutorial] (Weblink) This is a great review for punnett squares. Students must read and be able to figure out phenotype and genotype fractions.

[|How are Traits Passes on to Offspring?] (Weblink) A virtual lab on heredity.

[|Genetics - Punnett Squares - Practice Exercises] (Flipchart) This flipchart presents the use of Punnett Squares to predict the outcome of a genetic cross. There are practice exercises as well as assessment questions for use with Activotes.

[|Sex-Linked Traits] (Weblink) The purpose of this investigation is to explore the sex-linked gene for eye color, Drosophila.

[|Heredity and Traits] (Weblink) Two animated videos explaining human heredity and traits.

[|Sex Determination and Linkage] (Weblink) Investigate the pattern of inheritance of sex-linked traits such as colorblindness.

[|Genetic Counseling] (Weblink) In this web lab, create a pedigree for families with a variety of human genetic disorders to determine whether the children will inherit the disorder.

[|Baby Boom (Genotypes)] (Weblink) In this web lab, explore how much variety in phenotype can be produced by very limited genotypes.

[|Milestones in Genetics: Timeline] (Weblink) An interactive timeline of milestones in genetics, presenting more than 90 key events and discoveries. By clicking on any year in the timeline, the user can read a short, illustrated story and often find archival images and original scientific publicantions. Click on Download to a PC and then click Run.

[|Genetics Crossword Puzzle] (Flipchart) This flipchart presents crossword puzzles for students to solve using terms from the study of genetics. Pages are included which show the solutions to the puzzles.
