Description

This mutations worksheet bundle gives you everything to teach genetic mutations, from the first lesson to hands-on practice. Part 1 is a full DNA mutations lesson with PowerPoint notes, a student outline, a practice mutations worksheet, and a concept map. Part 2 is Examples of Mutations, where students act as geneticists and diagnose 8 patients at stations. Together, they cover gene mutations (substitutions and frameshifts) and chromosomal mutations.

What’s Included

• Part 1, DNA Mutations Lesson: PowerPoint notes with descriptions and examples of each mutation, a student notes outline, a practice worksheet with answer key, and a concept map with answer key
• Part 1 bonuses: a mutations video lecture, a mutations quiz with key, and a mutations interactive
• Part 2, Examples of Mutations: 8 patient stations covering substitution (missense and nonsense), frameshift (insertion and deletion), and chromosomal mutations (inversion, duplication, deletion, and translocation)
• Part 2 also includes: an answer key for each station, a mutations reference sheet, a student handout, an instructions slide to project, and amino acid tables for each station

Teacher tip: The video lecture is great for sub days, asynchronous days, or when you’re under the weather.
