In this lesson students learn how CRISPR works by running a gene editing lab. They get to explore the components of the gene editing system, make experimental predictions. Transform bacteria with
In this lesson, students construct a paper model of CRISPR and work on focus questions to understand how CRISPR works. They will go through the motions of gene replacement so they can see what happens
This lesson will show students that genetic traits come from a lot of different places, and we are all different but still made of the same things. It will use real-time data collection to present
In this lesson students model the process of speciation using Skittles. As they work through the story, students see how changing geography can change the traits in a species and how over time these
This is part 2 of a Heredity lesson. In this portion of the lesson the students will work in collaborative pairs to mate the dragons the created in part 1. Furthermore, they will create Punnett
In part 1 of this lesson, students will use the laws of heredity to create a dragon based on the random toss of a coin. A chart has been created to assign genotypes and the corresponding phenotypes
