Module 15 - Karyotypes

This module contains tools for the instruction of karyotypes. Teachers and students can construct a karyotype from chromosome pictures from a human diploid cell. The chromosomes can be paired based on size and banding patterns and put in numerical order to show the karyotype. An insert packet includes extra chromosomes that can be used to model chromosomal mutations and abnormalities. The teacher sets are larger and are designed to be used at the board in the front of a classroom, while the student sets are smaller and are designed for individuals, small groups, and tutoring using a smaller whiteboard. The module includes 56 magnets and written lessons with teacher and student guides as well as extra exercises for activities lasting up to or exceeding 120 minutes of instructional time. The magnets arrive in a clasp folder that can be used for organization and storage. The module inventory can be accessed in the links below.
