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 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.

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

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. 

Students explore biotechnology through various activities. In this biology instructional activity, students analyze its pros and cons. They study and read informative articles about biotechnology.

Students examine the advantages and disadvantages of genetic engineering. For this genetics lesson students simulate the genetic engineering of a human insulin gene.

Students explore enzymes and what can inhibit and act as a catalyst for them.  In this enzymes lesson students complete experiments on enzyme properties.

Students analyze how to begin hands on research for science projects and experiments. They develop a problem and design a systematic effort to resolve it.

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.
