Is cloning good or harmful? Help your class understand the risks and benefits as they read, research, and discuss human cloning. Individuals form teams, research information, and present to the class before concluding with an in-depth...

Here is an ambitious lesson which has learners take a look at which nations came up with the most important scientific inventions/advancements during the 20th century. Focusing on group work, cloning is explored. All of the worksheets...

Students use microscopes to study live fish embryos and animated diagrams of cell division on the Internet. They see that scientists rely on technology to enhance the gathering and manipulation of data. They create web pages on cloning.

Students investigate cloning using E coli cultures. Through laboratory exercise, they determine if E coli cells contain b - galactosidase.

Students examine the process in which plants and animals are cloned. They compare and contrast the two procedures and determine if there is a difference. They share their views on cloning to the class.

Students engage in DNA manipulation using forensics techniques. Students investigate topics involved in forensics studies such as cloning, electrophoresis, gene mapping, replication, and transcription.

Students explore the "genetic code." They observe how genes may be manipulated for genetic research, gene cloning, and genetic engineering. In a lab setting, students examine the mechanics involved in cutting and ligating DNAs into a...

Students ligate fragments of genomic DNA from spinach into a vector plasmid. They perform a restriction enzyme digestion. Student use a ligated DNA molecule to transform E. coli cells. Students analyze their procedures and outcome of...

Students will first extract genomic DNA from spinach and perform a restriction enzyme digestion on both the spinach DNA and the plasmid using the same restriction enzyme. They then ligate the cut plasmid DNA with the cut spinach DNA in...

Students explore eight career and technical areas and make connections with business, family and consumers, and technology. They examine and describe how agriculture and natural resources impact our quality of life. They explore and...

Students model the removal of a cell nucleus and the insertion of an alternate control center. They define some of the challenges faced in this type of transplant procedure. Students discuss cloning.

Students, after studying extraction and gel electrophoresis, recombinant DNA, transgenic organisms, and reproductive cloning, summarize the main concepts in DNA technology. They analyze the applications of DNA: forensics, medicine,...

Ethical concerns are not always black and white. A well-designed lesson presents learners with scenarios for which ethics may come into question. Scholars learn to consider the different sides of a situation and make an unbiased...

Students conduct a variety of experiments to explore gel electrophoresis. In this biology lesson, explain how this process separate DNA and RNA. They discuss the practical applications of this method.

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. 

Learners identify different properties of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students complete problems that proves the theorems and properties of parallelograms. They graph the different shapes on paper.

Students discover the habits of panthers by solving fictitious crime mysteries.  In this animal life instructional activity, students utilize their research from previous lessons to solve mysteries in a panther activity....

Students solve systems of equations algebraically. In this algebra lesson, students solve systems using substitution and elimination. They solve linear and quadratic systems.

Students define the five rules of loci. In this geometry lesson, students identify the locus of points that creates a circle. They calculate the distance from a fixed line and point.

Students explore Fractal designs. In this geometry lesson, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.

Students identify the properties of a dragon curve. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify sequences and patterns as they solve fractals. They investigate patterns found in nature.

Students identify the repeated sequences of a pattern. For this geometry lesson, students identify fractals in patterns and nature. They construct a fractal tree and make conjectures.

Students investigate the relationship between fractals and sequences. In this geometry activity, students build a fractal tree. They investigate different career fields where fractals are used in the real world.

Pupils investigate Koch's Snowflake. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of creating Koch's snowflake. They solve problems dealing with fractals and patterns.
