Learning about genetics helps middle and high school students understand the complex processes that makes them… them through their genes. It connects what they feel in their own bodies to the science behind genes and animals, plants, insects and organisms in general. By studying these genetics facts, students develop a deeper appreciation for their own genetic make-up, inspiring better understanding of their biology and those of animals too. This genteics knowledge also provides a foundation for further exploration in biology, medicine, and any science-related fields they might pursue in the future. With this in mind, let’s engage with this excellent learning resource that makes a flexible addition to any lesson plan!

This genetics 2 activity set provides a truly engaging set of ways to engage students. This resource can help your students spark learning aboutgenetics. For digital, you can provide a visual strange facts version and a digital / print find the lie version of the 2 truths and a lie activity.
