Edventures BrickLAB Genetics Program
Brick by brick, students build up their understanding of DNA, genetics, and heredity with this ready-to-use program on genetics for kids.
Students use the DNA building blocks to represent concepts such as DNA coding, mutation, dominant v. recessive genes, and much more! With hands-on activities, students gain a deeper understanding of how genes and heredity affect them. Learn how genes play a role in the real world with career fields like healthcare or genetic counseling.
The engaging, inquiry-based lessons consist of entirely reusable materials that don't need refilling, making this curriculum perfect for busy summer camps, classrooms, or school programs. Accommodates 30 students for 12 one-hour lessons. Recommended for Middle School.

Next Generation Science Standards*:
- MS-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.
- MS-LS3-2: Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.
