Genes and Heredity - Teaching Pack

Genes and Heredity is part of our range of Science Teaching Packs.

It comprises 7 multimedia science lessons that provide whole class interaction, physical experimentation and student performance tracking.  Each lesson covers a specific topic area  and includes a theory presentation, a demonstration activity and a student assessment test.   Although primarily intended to be delivered by the teacher from the front of the class, the lessons may alternatively be worked through by a student at a single PC workstation.

For ease of use, each lesson has the same structure: 

• Lesson overview
• Theory presentation with continuous student assessment 
• Demonstration activity with continuous student assessment 
• End-of-lesson assessment test

Lessons are supported by printable student worksheets, on which students can record experimental results and write their own conclusions.

Lesson Topics: 

• Heredity Traits 1
• Heredity Traits 2
• Genes
• Reproduction
• Biological Adaptations
• Biological Diversity
• Extinction

Interactive software applications are used to bring scientific principles to life.

Genes and Heredity includes the following software applications: 

• Traits of the Peppered Moth
• Monohybrid Test Cross
• Modifying Genes
• Fetal Development
• Biological Adaptations
• Geographical Isolation
• Extinct Species

If the teacher uses our optional ClassAct® SRS student response system, students can use SRS keypads to answer questions in 'real time'.  ClassAct®SRS turns the classroom into a computer managed environment, helping the teacher to involve, engage and motivate students.

Genes and Heredity contains:

• Seven lesson topics
• Printable student worksheets
• Teacher's notes
• Single whiteboard/user software license
