Why Do We Have a House and Senate, Anyway?
Why does the United States have a bicameral voting system? Through role playing as either advocates for or against a cell phone policy in school, your learners will organize, vote, compromise, and experience first-hand the benefits of a...
Curated OER
Circulatory and Respiratory Systems Unit - Biology Teaching Thesis
Students Explain how an increased level of activity translates to cells needing more oxygen and how the lungs supply this oxygen by entering the blood stream. They also can explain that the heart is responsible for moving both oxygenated...

Heart Valve Replacement
Put your heart into it. Scholars design and build replacements for mitral heart valves. Obviously, they can't test their creations on a real heart, so a box with marbles (to represent blood cells) will suffice.

Meiosis: Gamete Production
Sex sells, or in this case, sex cells allow reproduction to occur. Scholars view a presentation and animation as well as complete a worksheet on meiosis and gamete production. They observe every stage and learn about the function and...

UV, Mutations, and DNA Repair
How effective are cells at repairing UV damage? An inquiry-based lesson has learners experiment with organism by exposing them to various levels of UV light and then examining their DNA after a period of time. Pupils test different...

DNA
Get up close and personal with DNA! A two-part hands-on activity has learners extract DNA from a small organism and then their own cheek cells. Scholars then explore DNA replication using questions to guide their analyses.
Curated OER
Mitosis
Seventh graders describe the stages of mitosis. In this biology lesson, 7th graders explain the importance of cell division. They complete an activity packet at the end of the lesson.
Curated OER
Electrical Energy
Students compare and contrast a cell and a battery. In this physical science lesson, students explain how they create energy. They conduct an experiment to apply what they have learned in this lesson.
Curated OER
Maximum Power Point
Pupils investigate how to optimize the power output of a photovoltaic cell using a home-made gnomon stand. They use data collected to create current-voltage and power-voltage curves to determine the "maximum PowerPoint," (MPP) at which...
Curated OER
Matching Worksheet: Life Science
In this matching instructional activity, students match fifteen words to their definition. They identify words dealing life science such as cell, cell membrane, producer, and antibodies.
Curated OER
Active Transport
In this active transport worksheet, students review the cellular process of active transport including the structures and functions of the cell organelles involved. This worksheet has 28 fill in the blank statements.
Curated OER
Let's Make a Solar Car
Students transform a car that they have built out of K'NEX into a solar car. Students add one or two solar cells to the car to power a DC motor then connect the motor to the car and come up with a method to drive the car. This is the...
Curated OER
How Organisms Respond to Changes in their Environment
Students observe the reaction of living cells to mechanical and chemical stimuli by introducing different stimuli to an organism under a microscope and recording the response.
Curated OER
What Does That DNA Molecule Really Look Like???
Students extract DNA from animal liver cells. They separate, collect and describe the appearance from the extracted DNA while role playing as an intern in a city's forensics.
Curated OER
The Fungus Among Us
Students explore the basic characteristics and roles of fungi. They discuss the importance of fungi to humans. Students investigate the relationship between cell structure and function and explore the diversity and variation of...
Curated OER
Hiv/aids, Year 1, Day 2
Students watch a video about the spread and biology of HIV/AIDS. They discuss white blood cell counts and ways the disease is transmitted and ways it cannot be transmitted. They draw a battle between the HIV and the immune system.
Curated OER
Levels of Organization
Students brainstorm a list of all the functions organisms carry out and how they carry them out. In groups, they are given the smallest and highest level of organization in organisms and are to fill in the missing spaces. To end the...
Curated OER
Osmosis
In this biology activity, students determine how many solvent and solute molecules there are in the red blood cell and the IV fluid. Then they determine whether the IV fluid is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic to the red blood cell.
Curated OER
Electrochemistry Problems
For this electrochemistry worksheet, students determine the voltage of a cell based on the reduction potentials. Students write a condensed cell diagram and the oxidation half reaction for the cell. This worksheet has 30 problems to solve.
