Students conduct a variety of experiments to explore protein. In this biology instructional activity, students solve a mystery by testing for the presence of glucose, protein starch and triglycerides. They explain how DNA transcription...

Students investigate foods. For this biology lesson plan, students will conduct testing on different types of foods as they learn about different molecules that make them up. Students will also learn about the shapes of the molecules.

Fifth graders explore the brain and what is needs. In this biology lesson plan, 5th graders will work on a series of activities that will allow them to learn about the brain, its parts, and the best foods to eat for their brain.

Students investigate nutrient cycling in a simplified desktop ecosystem involving aquarium and hydro-ponically grown plants. They set up an aquarium with 10 gallons of water at least a week before the lab is planned and place...

Learners study the types of diabetes and why insulin is important.  In this diabetes lesson students build molecular models and create a healthy lifestyle plan. 

Students examine the life cycle of c-ferns. They complete experiments on the organisms exposing them to differnet amount of UV radiation. They collect data and analyze their results.

Students construct various virus models using Fruit loops and Alphabits to represent nucleotides and molecules. They constructs capsomeres using shoes as the capsomeres and discuss various viruses.

Students draw a diagram to show the fluid mosaic model of a membrane. They explain how hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties help membranes hold their shape. They identify the functions of different cell membrane proteins as well.

Students explore the history, inheritance and mutations of genetics.  In this genetic lesson plan students complete experiments on DNA sequences.
