Throughout all the USBT curriculum student a given a variety of NGSS aligned activities each class period. These activities only scratch the surface of what you get in our Mutations and Biotechnology unit as a USBT member.

Over the course of the unit students explore karyotyping using our karyotyping worksheets and activities. Students also use gel electrophoresis to identify suspects from a crime scene!

Do not worry if you do not have access to all the equipment to perform the lab. The USBT lesson plans have alternatives such as online simulations with worksheets already done for you.

 

In addition, your students will learn about the most recent biotechnological advancements as they work through our Full Biology Curriculum.  The will explore biotechnology like CRISPR cas9 and PCR’s.

If you like the activities we have shared here, you will love our Full Biology Curriculum. This is just a small sample of what is available to you!
