K-11 0 favorites 0 promising practices http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/ Last updated: Fri, 08/27/2021 - 11:48 share

How It Works

The Genetic Science Learning Center at the University of Utah provides a collection of information and other resources on genetics and genetic engineering for students and their teachers. This is a particularly well-organized academic site.

In the Classroom

Use this site to help students review a unit on genetics. There are plenty of links that students can access reviewing a number of subjects within genetics. Save the site on your class wiki or web page to allow students to access it both in and out of the classroom. The "tour the basics" link would also be great at the beginning of a unit on genetics to assess what knowledge the students already have, and bring them all up to speed. Any science teacher should save this site and use it frequently in their class!

Have you ever wondered if humans are related to Neandertals or even chimps? Find out on this site. The journal Science also offers a complete resource for scientists and others interested in the human genome.

In the Classroom

This site is test heavy. Pair a weak reader with a strong reader. Ask pairs to take notes and write down the questions they have using Webnote, <a href="/single.cfm?id=16140"> reviewed here</a>; tell students to be sure to save the URL to share their notes and questions with you and their peers. Use this site as a kick off point for student’s research papers and projects on the human genome and genetics. What questions do they have after reading this. If your students are inexperienced conducting research you may want to use a tool like Go, Ask, Achieve, <a href="/single.cfm?id=17215"> reviewed here</a>, an interactive and engaging tool for students to learn the formal research process.
