Students investigate the lives of pets by videotaping them.  In this animal life lesson, students videotape a cat and other pets using school cameras in a computer lab.  Students review the footage from the cat and other...

Ninth graders evaluate the use of radiation in medical procedures. In this biology lesson students compare and contrast meiosis and mitosis. They research the different applications of radiation.

Ninth graders research the different field of bioengineering. For this biology lesson, 9th graders differentiate meiosis and mitosis. They discuss the pros and cons of using radiation in medical diagnostics.

Students explore anatomy and physiology using various activities. In this biology lesson, students reasearch about medical radiation and its applications. They study cell cycle, cell division and other processes that sustain life.

Sixth graders use small electronic devices known as thermistors to measure the temperature beneath an object such as a coffee cup as it slides across a surface. By choosing different surfaces, 6th graders can compare in a quantitative...

Tenth graders observe collections of specimens and discuss their answers to provided questions. They explore common ancestry, homology, analogy, adaptive radiation, and evolution, while formulating creative answers based on their...

Students grow plants from seeds that can later be placed in outdoor settings. They care for the seeds while they germinate and begin to leaf out.

Young scholars collect water samples from designated sampling stations, and discuss water pollution. They analyze the water samples, record the data on a spreadsheet, and present the environmental water quality data to the class.

Tenth graders study the diversity of life in the world. They classify and sketch organisms into the 6 kingdoms.

Students examine the health condition of jet lag. Using mealworms, they test the effect of light on the development of them into adults. They answer discussion questions and examine the relationship of age and one's activity level.

Students investigate the chemistry of water and how its molecular structure supports life through its biochemcial, physical, and environmental roles. They investigate the quality of water as it interacts with the environment. Students...

Students identify and illustrate how changes in DNA cause mutations and evaluate the significance of these changes. They illustrate a chromosomal mutation such as duplication, deletion, inversion, and translocation.

Students examine states of matter. In this solids and liquids lesson, students conduct a scientific investigation that requires them to make oobleck and record their observations pertaining to it.
