Activity 1: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 5 min

Cells And Genes and Reproduction

In the first part of this game, you'll get to divide your cells until you have enough for a full organism. Once you've divided enough cells, you'll get to create offspring. You'll also compare asexual and sexual reproduction and learn why the offspring are different. After you successfully create a new organism, you will get to take a quiz that will test your knowledge over the content you just learned.

Lab Rat Fungus Muncher

Ratilda will teach you about the difference between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction by comparing animals (munchers) and fungus. You will learn about the two types of reproduction, and you will stop the spread of fungi with your munchers that eat fungi! There are six labs to complete with questions at the end of each lab.

Activity 3: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 12 min

Plant Reproduction Strategies

In this simulation game, you are a scientist discovering different strategies of reproduction and how plants reproduce. As you click on different parts of the flower, you will learn information about how plants reproduce. Drag and drop pictures to describe the process of pollination and then simulate wind and animal dispersion of seeds. Once you complete all of the simulation, you beat the game!

Activity 4: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 17 min

Reproduction Buddies

In this game, you have to help your organisms make it to through the puzzle to the finish line. Each organism will reproduce sexually or asexually. You will have to figure out how your organisms reproduce. Their offspring will help you cross the obstacles to make it to the final flag. You have to make it to the flag before time runs out.

Genetic Zoo Nursery (Mid)

In this game, you will learn about genetics. A zookeeper has mixed up children and parents in the zoo. It's your job to use genetic information to place children with the correct parents. Many traits are inherited, so you will use clues to match parents with children. Study each genetic report carefully to make sure you can get these children back to their parents. Good luck!

Sexual Reproduction

In this activity, you will observe how traits are passed from parent to offspring and how chromosome pass on genetic information. Two character, AI and Genius, will be your teachers in this game. You will learn from Al about how he reproduced asexually. This means he can make copies of himself by himself. For sexual reproduction, you will learn from Genius. You will need two different individuals to make a copy.
