Genetics Worksheets and Activities

Using our Biology Curriculum, your students will be introduced to genetics using a variety of activities and worksheets. This is one of my favorite topics to teach students.

Download your Punnett Square worksheet below!

Students will be engaged with a fun classroom trait survey. Students really love doing the trait survey and learning how unique they are.

After completing the trait survey your students will complete their guided notes that go along with all our USBT presentations.

Engage your students!

The presentations are designed in a way that will allow you to instruct at a reasonable pace while highlighting key points the key point they will need for their state assessment.

You won’t be waiting for your students to write down every word on the slide, so they can spend more time listening and you can cover content at a faster pace.

After getting introduced to the key vocabulary terms your students will complete our Punnett square worksheet that will ease your students into completing Punnett squares.

Using our beach ball activity, your student will have fun and get lots of repetition on the key vocabulary terms.

Punnett Square Worksheet

As students gain confidence using exit activities and bell ringer worksheets student are introduced to our incomplete dominance, complete dominance worksheets and even dihybrid cross worksheets.

Prior to their assessment students will complete a series of worksheets that increase in difficulty as they try to be the first group to the finish the Punnett Square Competition. The first group done can be rewarded with a homework pass.

DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis Worksheets

 

Using our Full Biology Curriculum, your students will be introduced to DNA replication and protein synthesis. Through the curriculum you will use a variety of DNA replication worksheets, protein synthesis worksheets, labs and activities to help them learn these processes.

Engage your students!

Students will be engaged with an excellent video that shows these cellular processes at the molecular level. The video shows the processes occurring in real time!

Explore with a DNA Extraction!

After getting a basic understanding of the DNA replication and protein synthesis your students will use their understanding of the cell and DNA to complete a DNA extraction.

Your student will love this! Seeing the DNA is something they will remember forever.

For practice your students will complete the DNA replication worksheet to help them process their learning.
Once your students have a basic understanding of DNA replication they will move on to protein synthesis.

Mitosis and Meiosis Worksheets

Cell Reproduction

In our Full Biology Curriculum, you will use a variety of mitosis and meiosis worksheets to help your students grasp the concept of cell reproduction and the new genetic combinations that are created in meiosis.

Engage your students

In our Full Biology Curriculum your students will begin by watching a video of a cell dividing with the sound turned off. They will try to describe what they are seeing.

Next, your students will explore the content through our Cell Reproduction Presentation and the Guided Student Notes. Your students will then complete the mitosis worksheet as they apply the information they just learned about mitosis and the cell cycle.

Download your Cell Mitosis Worksheet Below

After the mitosis worksheet, you can use our beach ball activity (check it out here)with the phases of mitosis in each segment of the beach ball to assess your student’s understanding of the content.

 Click here to subscribe

 

As students progress through the unit they will explore mitosis using the Onion Root Tip Microscope Lab. Your students will demonstrate their understanding of mitosis and their ability to use the microscope. Using our lab worksheet, your students will be required to show you each phase of mitosis and obtain your approval to move on the the next step.

Students will even complete an modeling activity to show the process cell division!

Cellular Respiration Worksheet

In our Full Biology Curriculum students complete a variety of activities to help them understand cellular respiration. Using our cellular respiration worksheet and other activities your student will master process of cellular respiration.

 

Get your cellular respiration worksheet below!

 

Using our Full Biology Curriculum, you will start by  engaging your students using a demonstration of the chemical indicator BTB (Bromothymal Blue). Students will be puzzled when you complete this demo and ask them what caused the color of the BTB to change.

 

Engage you Students!

After grabbing your students attention, you will introduced the topic using the Cellular Respiration Presentations and guided student notes that are included with all of our units in our Full Biology Curriculum.

cellular respiration worksheet

Next your students will practice applying what they learned by completing the cellular respiration worksheet that you can download below.

 

Let your Students Explore!

After gaining some understanding of cellular respiration your students will complete the Exercise and Cellular Respiration Lab where they will observe the effects of exercise on the rate of cellular respiration.Cellular Respiration Lab

Elaboration and Explanation

Next, your students will Use a model (or skit, story, rap, poem) to illustrate that cellular respiration is a chemical process whereby the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and the bonds in new compounds are formed, resulting in a net transfer of energy.
