Module Overview

Originated by Dr. Kotryna Kvederaviciute

Genetics is probably one of the most exciting lessons in biology. At the same time, it can be a bit confusing because sometimes it is difficult to imagine what the bare eyes cannot see. We will try to make things very simple and easy for you.

Genetics is the science of studying how living things pass on characteristics (or traits) and its variations in their cell make-up from one generation to the other. Simply, it is the study of how living things inherit features like eye-colour, nose shape, height and even behaviour from their parents.

We will explore

  • Genetic Inheritance
  • Chromosomes
  • DNA
  • Dominant Genes

Our programmes include a range of learning materials to support both teachers and students in the classroom. Content wise, each module is different but some components are common to all to provide assessment tools for teachers and familiar references for students.

This module includes

  • Lesson activity plan
  • Observational worksheet
  • Reflection worksheet
  • Power point

We believe that some topics are approached more powerfully by bringing in animation. That is why some of the topics have videos to illustrate the learning points
