BioNBeyond

A single class period activity for students to complete individually using the internet. Students will use google to research advantages and disadvantages to different model organisms in biology research, as well as doing a short reading and answering two follow up questions at the end. A perfect activity for sub-plans, last minute lesson plans, or simply something to peak students' interest in research!

This is a 12 question quiz on basic mendelian genetics and its applications, based on the free genetics lesson text and vocab on my BioNBeyond store. 8 multiple choice, 5 short answer.

Designed for 7th-9th grade level depending on your classroom.

This product contains both a document, and a slideshow which gives a simple explanation of fluorescent protein tagging in living organisms using GFP. This is designed to be a supplement to a genetics unit, or even just a one-day activity to fill the time. The content does not use vocabulary beyond a junior high-level, and is simple enough that even without much understanding of genetics, it is within reach. Includes: 3 pages of written explanation with diagrams 1 web-quest page (to be typed or

This is a text that covers the basics of mendelian genetics, Punnett squares, basic epigenetics (gene activation and silencing), and a brief section about CRISPR Cas-9. Vocab words are bolded and a vocab list is included at the end for students to fill in. The lesson has pictures, diagrams, a few discussion/critical thinking questions along the way for students to pause and think about what they've just read.
