Understanding Genetics-Human Health and the Genome - free resource from Stanford U

Understanding Genetics: Human Health and the Genome is a free resource from Stanford University School of Medicine and The Tech Museum.

There are online exhibits, news, activities, resources, articles, videos and much more about Genetics. There is even an "Ask the Geneticist" page with questions and answers. The topics include what are genes, diseases, mutations, medicines, news, and more.

The activities and resources are very well designed, engaging, and educational. It is an excellent resource for teaching genetics and can be scaled for multiple grade levels.

Excellent program on DNA and Human Genome

I recently found a great video about DNA and the Human Genome from my PLN on Twitter (Thanks @dmcdonald92). PBS, a great resource for teachers, has a great program "NOVA" that has some excellent video programs for education. "NOVA: Cracking Your Genetic Code" is a great program that explores how having DNA and the Human Genome decoded is leading to some exciting breakthroughs in health and diseases

This is another great, free resource for educators. The program can be viewed online for free.
