Young scientists demonstrate their creativity while completing several activities, to assess genetic variations and mutations. Instructors provide a list of options and scientists choose to write a comic strip, create a book,...

High schoolers explore inheritance patterns of diseases. In this genetic activity, students explain how recessive genes may cause human disorders. They identify and research five genetic disorders and present their findings to the class.

Young scholars examine how living cells create new cells and how genetic mutations can cause disorders and be inherited.  In this genetic reproductionn lesson students create their own PowerPoint presentation. 

Eighth graders research a genetic disease and present the information to the class.

Students predict traits of future offspring. In this biology lesson, students study karyotyping to predict genetic disorders. They research an assigned karyotype and present information about it.

Explore genetically modified foods through various experiments. For this biology lesson, students discuss the safety issues related to GMF's. They conduct a PCR analysis to identify the presence of genetic modification.

Research how DNA, the genetic blueprint of living organisms, plays an essential role in the continuity of life. High schoolers will summarize how their influence may very well effect the destiny of the population from one generation to...

Students study seabirds and how they have adapted to their environments.  In this activity based lesson students will play a card game that will allow them to have a better understanding of seabirds and their adaptations. 

Students create a dinosaur egg with balloons and newspaper.  In this earth science lesson, students explore the extinction of dinosaurs.  Students view a web clip and relate it to the extinction of animals they have never seen.

Students explore natural selection. For this genetic adaptation lesson, students discover why certain traits continue and some traits disappear. Students discover how species evolve and change. Resources are provided.

Students identify the different taxonomic classifications of organisms. In this biology instructional activity, students create their own organisms and make some changes according to environmental conditions. They present their work in...

Young scholars design a morning routine for a 60 year old female senior with vision disorder. In this biology lesson, students collaborate with their team to come up with possible solutions. They present at least two ideas of their...

Learners use a science journal to log plants that are native to Alabama. In this plant lesson plan, students identify characteristics, describe environments, and classify the plants that they find.
