Muscles: Guided Learning
This activity was created for distance learning during the 2020 pandemic as a substitution for traditional dissections and lessons that involve identifying the muscles and their function. Each slide has descriptions and images with a task for students to perform, such as labeling a diagram (based on the description) or answering questions about the muscles.…

Data Analysis – Lizards in a Hurricane
Students examine images showing how lizards hang on to a branch during high winds. Data shows that some anoles have larger toe pads
-
Virtual FlyLab (New!)
Virtual fruit fly genetics lab where students can explore phenotypes and genotypes of flies, design experiments, and perform chi square analysis
-
Learn the Anatomy of the Eye
This labeling activity was designed for remote learners so that students can practice identifying the anatomical structures of the eye. The activity was made with Google slides so that students can move the text boxes to the numbers on the labels. The image of the eye shows major structures, like the cornea, lens, fovea centralis,…

DNA Model – Cut and Paste Nucleotides
This digital modeling activity allows students to build a DNA model by dragging the individual parts into a completed diagram

Tasmanian Devil Karyotype (Remote Version)
Examine a karyotype showing the chromosomes of a Tasmanian devil. Arrange chromosomes and determine diploid number.

Corn Chi Square (remote)
This is the remote version of a classroom activity I do with corn ears. Students would count the kernels (smooth, wrinkled, purple, yellow) and determine if the ears of corn are the result of a dihybrid cross, RrPp x RrPp. This gives students the opportunity to apply statically analysis to data sets and determine if…

Learn the Anatomy of the Ear
In this activity, students learn about the ear by exploring google slides and going to an interactive site that explores how the ear works. Students use a simulation called “The Interactive Ear” which guides them though the outer, middle, and inner ear while explaining what each structure does. Students click through the virtual ear to…

Genetics of Blood Disorders – Hemophilia and Sickle Cell
I created this worksheet for anatomy students to practice using Punnett squares and comparing different types of mutations that affect the blood. Ideally, students will have already learned about genetics of blood types. Because I use this worksheet in my anatomy class, I don’t spend a lot of time teaching genetics. However, students do need…

Genetic Crosses in Rabbits (Remote)
Students learn how to do Punnett squares with two traits by practicing completing 4×4 squares.

Karyotype Analysis Using Google Slides
Students group homologous pairs of chromosomes and arrange them by size on the grid using google slides. Diagnose the genetic disorder.

Genetics Practice (Remote)
This worksheet was modified from a popular (and long-standing) worksheet where students practice genetics crosses: Simple Genetics Practice Problems. This version was created for remote learning during the 2020 pandemic. It is similar to the printout students would normally use, but in the case, I used inserted tables in Google docs to set up the…

Investigation: Concussions
This investigation is completed by watching videos and analyzing data on concussions. Students first watch a Ted-Ed video on what happens when you have a concussion. The digital handout contains questions from the video. Students then visit neuroanatomy.ca where they view coronal brain slices. Then they label an image and compare a normal brain versus…

Genetics Practice Problems with Google Slides
For students who are learning remotely, genetics lessons that involve Punnett squares and probability may be challenging. In a traditional class, I would give students small whiteboards and we would practice doing crosses together. I could circulate around the room to help students who are struggling, and they could help each other. Plus, they love writing…

Brain Label (Remote)
This brain labeling activity was created for remote learners as an alternative to the labeling and coloring worksheet we would traditionally do in class. Instead of coloring and labeling on printouts, students use google slides to drag labels to the images or type the answers into text boxes. The slides do not have labeled diagrams…
