    Independent Assortment and Gene Linkage Lab - Dragon Genetics
    Free Student Handout
    Free Teacher Notes
     
     
    Lab
    Students learn the principles of independent assortment and gene linkage in activities that analyze the inheritance of multiple genes on the same or different chromosomes in hypothetical dragons. The concepts of independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis and random fertilization are modeled with linked genes.

    Macromolecule Lab - Organic Compound Mystery
    Free Student Handout
    Free Teacher Notes
     
     
    Lab
    In this macromolecule lab, students learn about the three food-based biomolecules by testing for triglycerides, glucose, starch, and proteins. Students will use indicator solutions like test strips, paper bag stain test, iodine, and Biuret solution. Students experiment on the following mystery substances: vegetable oil, glucose, corn starch, powdered egg whites, and water.

    Lesson Plan (DOCX) & Answer Key with Membership
     
    Lab
    In this enzyme lab, students will discover the effects temperature, pH, and substrate concentration has on enzyme activity. Students will experiment on the enzyme catalase in different foods to determine its qualitative rate of reaction. This enzyme lab asks students to transfer the enzyme activity concepts in this experiment to homeostasis in organisms.
