Tired of teaching genetic concepts with the same old pink petunias and Mendel’s peas? With Garden Genetics, you can present core content in ways that are fun for students and fresh for you. This two-part set—a teacher edition and companion student edition—is adaptable to biology students at all levels, including Advanced Placement. It uses a series of activities and inquiry-based experiments with familiar foods to teach genetics while helping students make connections to ecology, evolution, plant biology, and even social science.

Grades 5–12
Turn downtime into learning time with this collection of 180 short readings related to life science. Some cover specific topics, from regeneration to the nature of algae. Others ask students to make connections to topics they've already learned about by writing mini-essays, doing calculations, making lists, or analyzing data. Because you have full permission to reproduce these thought-provoking readings, they're ideal to copy and keep on hand for making the most of every classroom minute.
