Rather than discuss cells from the basis of their anatomy (membranes, mitochondria, nucleus, etc.), we thought it would be more interesting to emphasize what cells DO and why and how they do it.

Play Thingdom - Educators
Thingdom challenges students to select and breed 'Things' to bring out particular characteristics through inheritance. Play the game Using an engaging game format designed especially to appeal to teenagers, Thingdom provides an innovative way of illustrating some of the fundamental principles of genetics such as the inheritance of characteristics through generations, and dominant and recessive genes. It provides a fun and engaging way for students to practice solving simple genetic problems such as predicting the outcomes from monohybrid crosses.
