Multimedia at its finest! Mendel's Principles of Heredity follows a monk named Gregor Mendel, known as the father of genetics, as he performs intriguing experiments to uncover the mysteries of heredity.

Modern terms such as genes and alleles are also explored in this program. Mind stimulating activities help with practice using punnett squares to predict outcomes. This program is a valuable addition to any genetics inclusive curriculum.

Topics covered in this program include: Mendel's Biography; Mendel's Pure-Breeding Pea Plant; Self-Fertilizing Pea Plants; The Seven Famous Traits of Mendel's Pea Plants; Mendel's Experiment on the Inheritance of Seed Color; Modern Terms in Genetics; Heredity Based in Probabilities; Mendel's Law of Segregation; The Punnett Square; and Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment.

Presentation
The Presentation portion of this program includes 45 audio-narrated scenes featuring the content from the objectives.





Interactive Lessons
Students can work through 8 different activities that directly reinforce the information learned in the Presentation.
