Teaching Genetics with Dragons
Teaching Genetics with Dragons is a free online simulation and lesson from Concord Consortium where students breed virtual dragons to explore inheritance. By crossing dragons with different traits, learners see dominant and recessive patterns, complete Punnett squares, and test predictions with built-in data tools. Teachers and parents appreciate the engaging context and the ready-made teacher guides that explain both science and technology use. It’s ideal for middle and early high school biology units on genetics. Access requires devices and internet, and some learners may need guidance navigating the interface, but the payoff in conceptual understanding is strong. Using it after a short, hands-on intro with coins or cards helps anchor the ideas.
