During a biology lesson, scholars research microbes, design a lesson plan using an outline, and present the lesson to the class. 

To boost disease prevention, high schoolers arm themselves with information about infectious diseases and how they spread. Scholars research the causes, prevention techniques, and identify high-risk groups especially vulnerable to a...

As part of their study of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa, middle schoolers create engaging public service announcements for preschool and kindergarten classes, teaching them how and when to wash their hands. To begin, class...

Seventh graders define the term microbe. They identify the five main groups of microbes. Students give examples of ways in which microbes have impacted or currently impact human life. They create a hypotheses for where they expect to...

Sixth graders create a type of notebook or journal using colored copy paper on which to take notes. They complete research on a certain disease and report on it and then design their own disease causing bacteria or virus. Finally, 6th...

Marine biologists research sea ice communities. Assign some groups to construct paper models of sea ice communities in winter, and some to construct models of them in summer. The lesson is simplistic, but the Internet resources provided...

Learners investigate microscopic life by viewing video clips.  In this organisms lesson, students view photographs and video clips on the internet of micro-organisms and discuss the harms and benefits of the creatures. ...

Learners research about the importance of sea ice to world climate and sea organisms. In this earth science instructional activity, students create a model of present and future Arctic sea ice communities. They discuss how ice melting...

Students examine the epidemiologic triangle. In this disease lesson, students discuss infectious disease as they study how they spread and discover their families' experiences with them. Students research Internet sites to complete...

Students explore the hidden world of microbes and how our bodies spring into action in response to diseases. This ten lesson unit presents data on several microbial diseases and the reaction of the body's immune system.

Learners explore physical science by participating in a science examination. In this microscope tutorial lesson, students read the book The Naked Eye and discuss the purpose for using a microscope in the field of science. Learners...

Students discuss the four essential step used for safe food handling: clean, separate, cook, and chill. They identify the bacteria that can cause food poisoning, practice how to properly wash hands before and after handling food,...

Students recognize and identify major groups found in the Arctic benthos. They describe common feeding strategies used by benthic animals in the Arctic Ocean. They discuss relationships between

Students analyze the chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction that Iraq is accused of having. Students investigate the history and resolutions that have been made regarding bioterrorism.

Sixth graders research the positive and negative aspects of microorganisms noting the challenges faced by early scientists. They investigate the history of a disease of their choosing and write a summary of their findings.
