Chromosomes and DNA Introduction Activity

Chromosomes and DNA Reading Passage Activity

Included in the resource:

• A reading passage
• A student question sheet
• An answer key

Reading Passage:

Included is an informative, introductory passage. The passage has key information around the subject and explains key concepts for first time learners.

Includes: key definitions around chromosomes, DNA and genes, as well as introducing XX and XY sex chromosomes.

Question Sheet:

Tiered as recall, label and apply, the question sheet follows the reading passage. The recall questions simply require students to extract information from the text, whilst the label and apply questions stretch students through developing ideas.

Answer Key:

A full set of comprehensive answers is included.

This is a great introductory resource for students who have no prior knowledge of chromosomes and DNA.

The resource includes a completely editable version so you can adjust the resource for your students if required.

Ideal also for substitute teacher work, as it is very self explanatory and students can complete without supervision (all the information is in the resource).

May include American English spellings.
