Energy and ATP
Take charge of your biology class by using this exciting analogy to relate the ATP process with batteries. Pupils use batteries and rubber bands to simulate the phosphate bonds between molecules in the body. They measure the distance in...
Curated OER
Photosynthesis, Respiration, and the ATP-ADP Cycle
Students explore the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. For this photosynthesis and respiration lesson plan, students learn about the role of the chloroplasts in photosynthesis and about the role of mitochondria in respiration...
Curated OER
Biology Demos
Students participate in biology demos. In this biology lesson, students explain how energy is released in the ATP cycle. They demonstrate DNA replication process.
Lesson Plans
Photosynthesis Activity
When is the last time pupils did a happy dance in class? Scholars act out photosynthesis and dance excitedly in front of the class. The resource also comes with a worksheet for those waiting or who have already completed the...
Curated OER
Respiration
In this science worksheet, students answer 14 questions about respiration. For example, "Cellular Respiration starts off with..."
Curated OER
Respiration
Young scholars explore Adenosine Triphosphate and how energy is released. They examine the basic process of cellular respiration and draw its chemical formula. After describing cellular respiration and photosynthesis, students compare...
Curated OER
To Have Or Not To Have Oxygen (Part I - Fermentation)
Students explore the fermentation process. In this biology lesson plan, students describe the process of glycolysis and infer the reactants and products of fermentation.
