Eukarya Teacher Resources

A robotic voice narrates as text and images appear to create a graphic organizer. First, the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is described. The plasma membrane, cytoskeleton, nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum,...

All human infants are lactose tolerant, yet some adults are lactose intolerant—why is that? Individuals discover the process of gene mutation through a study of the lactase gene (LCT). They understand the geographic connections,...

Learners differentiate between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell and give examples of both types. They differentiate between a plant and animal cell. Students will be able to name features common to both as well as unique features of each.

The question of the structure and function of DNA being the same in almost all organisms is raised here. You will find this PowerPoint a great summary of the building blocks and replication of DNA. The differences between...

Students are introduced to Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium without recourse to algebra. After participating in this activity, students gain a feeling for the significance of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium without using algebra.

Learners compare and contrast the characteristics of robots and cells. In this biology lesson, students examine the parts and function of cell organelles. They create a visual representation of their cell/robot analogy.

In this genes worksheet, students review the system that controls gene expression and the enzymes required for regulating genetic expression. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank and 7 short answer questions.

In this biology worksheet, 9th graders identify and explain what cell stay in inter-phase. Then they describe which stage of cell is the shortest and determine why that is true. Students also explain the process of mitosis.

For this classification worksheet, students complete a chart listing the characteristics of each of six kingdoms. They write definitions for three terms.

In this plant worksheet, students will review the origins and adaptations of plants including the alternation of generations. This worksheet has 8 short answer, 6 fill in the blank, and 4 multiple choice questions.

Searching for the perfect indoor/outdoor activity that allows class members the opportunity to learn about organism classification? Here, pupils research organisms and categorize them according to domain and kingdom over the course...

Incorporate multiple facets of the cell into your next high school lab! Through an introduction to cell organelles, class members observe each cell type and draw visuals to further demonstrate understanding of cellular processes in both...

Cells are both made of molecules and make molecules all at the same time! An exploratory lesson provides a means for scholars to research the components of cells made of molecules and also investigate the molecule-producing power of...

The human body contains more than 200 types of cells, and plants contain many other unique types of cells. While a huge variety of cells exist, they appear to have very similar structures. A detailed presentation describes the structure...

An exciting activity has scholars use cell parts to build bacteria through cooperation with other groups. Each group has some of the cell parts needed, but they must trade with other groups to be able to fulfill their function as a...

Humans have only inhabited the earth for a fraction of the time that life has existed. Young scientists explore the facts about the emergence of life on Earth with an interactive resource. While highlighting different types of life, the...

Hey Ligase, what have you been up to? Just making ends meet. Watch a video that uses cartoon graphics to teach DNA replication in a clear and concise manner. It begins with the where and when, then covers helicase, primase, DNA...

Don't under-strand DNA? Watch an informative Fuse School Genetics video to learn what DNA is and where it is found. It also explains what DNA does, its relationship with genes, the four nucleotides, and their base pairs.

It's a classification sensation! Demystify why we classify using an inquiry activity that helps your class sort things out. Groups begin by classifying a variety of shoes before they research organisms and design their own dichotomous...

How do some viruses spread so quickly, and why do they make us feel terrible? Answer these (and many more) questions through a simple yet impactful lessons. Pupils observe demonstrations that show the two methods viruses use to escape...

Cells of different organs have unique cell functions. Learn how cell functions vary depending on their roles in the body using an inquiry-based activity. Scholars analyze the cell structure to make comparisons to its functions, allowing...

Bacteria outnumber all other living organisms found on Earth. Explore the evolutionary precursor to multicellular organisms, unicellular organisms with a video that delves into the world of bacteria, protists, and archaea and...

Use a biology video to focus on four main groups of plants: bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and anglosperms. It explains the parts of plants, life cyles, evolution of plants, and even touches upon sporophyte and gametophyte. 

Can science scholars describe a nucleus without mentioning DNA, or a chloroplast without mentioning the color green? Test their organelle understanding through an exciting card game. Groups take turns guessing the correct organelle or...
