9-12 Time:
50 minutes Teaching tips:
This activity is an introduction to several activities within a module entitled Human
Genetic Variation. We also recommend the second activity in this module: The
Meaning of Genetic Variation. These activities focus on variation but could easily be extended to address variation's role in evolution. Concepts: - Scientists test their ideas using multiple lines of evidence.
- There is variation within a population.
