Description: A Mendel Seminar has students read Experiments in Plant Hybridization (1865) by Gregor Mendel to prepare for and participate in a class seminar. While this resource was given high marks by the CCRC reviewers, using it as a GEON member in the classroom may require additional planning and contact with the teacher.

Reviewer Comments:

“I would use this with my AP biology students. I like the structure of reading the original article and appreciate the way it is broken down into sections with a specific focus question for each area.”

“The authors have worked hard to make this approachable for a high school audience.
