Description
This Genetics and DNA Color by Number and Text Marking activity is the perfect way to bring life to the topic! Students read a non-fiction passage and search for answers while marking evidence from the text. Perfect reading comprehension activity.
Topics include: Genetics, DNA, alleles, Punnett square and Mendel.
Students complete a “before reading” anticipation guide, read about Genetics and DNA, answer questions, mark the text for evidence, color the picture according to their answer, and complete the “after reading” anticipation guide.
This is a great cross curriculum activity that also practices Language Arts skills and citing evidence. You can use this activity to assess prior knowledge. You can use this activity as a unit review. Lastly, you could use the student worksheet as a quiz or formative and then let them color as a reward! You choose what works best for you.
This is a fun, colorful activity that allows students to show mastery while relaxing, learning and coloring in their answers. This is also perfect for emergency sub plans! Hang the finished product in the hall for teachers and students to stop and admire.

These make my favorite sub plans – low prep, very little directions needed, and students know the routine.

My students always love the color by number activities! They appreciate the immediate feedback and the chance to show some creativity.
Jessica Hans –
As usual, this resource was great – I was able to leave it with a sub and it was something that was very easily done. Plus, my students have done other activities like this (by Think Tank), and they knew what to do.
