FPsc: genetics, evolution, modern genetic sciences An active-learning exercise in which students can enact Mendel’s fundamental laws of genetics to create their own (simulated) populations in which alternative alleles segregate and then assort to yield the canonical 3:1 and 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratios (or not!) The Single Locus Version This introductory rendition of The Mating Game allows students to explore Mendel’s Law of Segregation to understand the means by which underlying allelic genotypes configurations yield alternative phenotypic outcomes. The Two Locus Version This advanced rendition of The Mating Game allows students to explore Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment and perhaps come to recognize that his second Law is merely an extension of his first Law of Genetics as applied to more than a single locus-- until that beautiful hypothesis was slain by the ugly facts of nature (think: linkage).
Force and Motion | Elesapiens Learning & Fun The Elesapiens Learning Units combine entertainment with cartoons and curriculum content. This unit contains digital educational resources (videos, interactive games and online activities) and resources based on experimentation (off-line activities, projects, experiments and group activities), providing comprehensive and successful educational experiences for students and teachers. This content is aligned with the curriculum and reinforce skills and values such as critical thinking, social responsibility and teamwork. Led by the "Elesapiens" character, this unit ... Develops the concepts of forces and motion of bodies.
- PowerMyLearning Student Instructions Practice what paleontologists do to find and examine fossils in the real world. Exploring Fossils and the Fossil Record (e-Learning for Kids): Watch the tutorial about the importance of fossils and then explore different environments and learn about the fossils found there. Virtual Dinosaur Dig (Smithsonian): Read the instructions beside the dig site, help uncover the fossils, and transport them back to Smithsonian to identify what type of dinosaur you found. Can this Dinosaur Glide? Read introduction page and click LAUNCH INTERACTIVE.Click on REVIEW BASICS and read instructions.Select the LEG POSITION from the 3 choices that would help this dinosaur glide the best.Set the angle of attack (flight).Then, click on VIEW GLIDE PATH to see what would happen.Try changing the settings to find out if you can make this dinosaur glide.
