Marshmallow Meiosis: Breeding Reebops
Students uncover the principles of genetic variation when they breed "Reebops," imaginary creatures made out of easy-to-find materials

Genetics - Basic Human Inheritance Patterns
Using simple tools such as colored yarn and paper, students create long banners showing stages of meiosis (spermatogenesis and oogenesis) and formation of gametes.

Genetics - Cells, Socks, and Sex
Visual representation of mitosis, meiosis, gamete formation and fertilization.

Meiosis and Sex Determination
Using manipulatives the student will be able to describe the major events in meiosis and how these events are responsible for genetic variation and sex determination.

Clay Chromosomes
Students will model meiosis with clay.

Meiosis Flip Book
Students will create a flip book to describe and illustrate the steps of meiosis.

Meiosis Pop Beads
Students will use pop beads to build models of chromosomes and demonstrate an understanding of the process of meiosis.

Gene Puzzles
Students will come to understand that in sexually reproducing organisms, such as humans, typically half of the genes come from each parent.

Spermatogenesis versus Oogenesis
This lesson is designed to provide information and structure so that students can compare and contrast the processes of spermatogenesis and oogenesis.
