MoustiquesInsectes (Vecteurs de maladies)

In this activity, students learn about mosquitos, including their anatomy, environments, what attracts them, why mosquitos "bite," and the dangerous diseases they carry. Students gain knowledge through research and then participate in a competitive, interactive game to be the first to complete their mosquito. [Source : Smithsonian Science Education Center website]

Yuck! That tastes terrible : discovering a unique genetic trait.

In this genetic trait research activity, students will have fun discovering who makes a face when they taste PTC-treated strips. PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) is a chemical that has been widely used to detect genetic variation in tasting ability. Students will conduct the taste test experiment, gather data, use the Punnett square, graph the class findings, and design a simple research project to find correlations between tasters and non-tasters, and taste preferences or other genetic traits.
