What educators are saying

I walked through this with my kids and did an example from the website with them as well since mutations can be hard to understand but they found it very interesting.
Great resource! My students were drawn in by the examples used on the website since they could relate to most of them. Very easy to use and comprehensive.

Description

How do genetic mutations lead to variation in species? In this virtual exploration lab, students will learn about the different types of mutations and how these new genotypes can change an organism's phenotype. Students will also:

⚗️Test their Pre-existing Knowledge of Mutations

⚗️Identify the difference between Point, Insertion, & Deletion Mutations

⚗️Read about Genetic Mutations and how they can be Good & Bad

⚗️Describe how Changes in DNA sequence influence Protein Formation

NOTE: This activity links to a video clip and an Interactive from the Genetic Science Learning Center Website. Check it out below!

Video: Types of Mutations

Interactive: Mutations & Variation

Purchase includes the 3-page Student Worksheet (PDF), 3-page Teacher Answer Key (PDF), and 3-page Digital Student Worksheet (Google).

VIRTUAL LEARNING

This lab comes with a Google Slides version of the Student Worksheet hyperlinked in the Teacher Answer Key - this lab is designed for digital and face-to-face learning!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSHS-LS3-1
Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring. Assessment does not include the phases of meiosis or the biochemical mechanism of specific steps in the process.
NGSSMS-LS3-1
Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding that changes in genetic material may result in making different proteins. Assessment does not include specific changes at the molecular level, mechanisms for protein synthesis, or specific types of mutations.
NGSSHS-LS3-2
Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occurring during replication, and/or (3) mutations caused by environmental factors. Emphasis is on using data to support arguments for the way variation occurs. Assessment does not include the phases of meiosis or the biochemical mechanism of specific steps in the process.
