Hands-on Activity during a Magnificent  Biology Session with Grade 9 Learners... Karyotype is a picture of chromosomes which are arranged in decreasing order of size, according to the shape, position of the centromere, distribution of the color bands. To understand this, nothing will be better than performing karyotyping in the classroom. My Grade 9 learners enjoyed their Biology lesson by having this hands-on activity, make their own karyotypes, identify the gender and the number of chromosomes in their karyotypes and specify if there is abnormality or not...

They used to perform rituals to cure a snake bite instead of taking proper medication or treatment. Similar way, some supernatural causes were attributed to diseases like smallpox etc., in the old days. Educations have uprooted many such superstitions and social maladies. The lives of many people have drastically changed for better due to the education. Due to the increased awareness levels and progress in science there is an explosion of human population with improved quality of life and life spans. Education has the power to change people’s lives. We see sudden birth of various diseases, health hazards and natural disasters because of the human greed and over exploitation of the nature. But only education with its powerful resea...
