Students predict the characteristics of future offspring using punnet squares. In this genetics lesson, students explore monohybrid crosses using an interactive website. They research about causes of blueness in people.

Students develop an interactive diary to record bird seed consumption. In this habitat instructional activity, students predict and record the amount of birdseed eaten each week by birds.

Young biologists piece together the puzzle of the human body with this simple anatomy worksheet. Presented with a picture of the human skeleton, students are challenged with the task of correctly identifying the 27...

How do genetic mutations within a population lead to future variations? Provide your class with the resources to answer this question and more upon completing an activity on natural selection. The entire class participates in a...

Ninth graders conduct an environmental inventory on one ecosystem. They collect data, and write an environmental impact statement on that area. Students explain the interactions between different systems found within an ecosystem....

Ninth graders design and conduct an experiment. They evaluate other's experiments. Students describe relationships between biological systems and the environmental contaminants. They work as a team to solve a problem.

A series of questions about archaebacteria and eubacteria reinforce a chapter on viruses and bacteria. This worksheet is from chapter 18 of an unspecified textbook, but could work with your biology lecture as well. High schoolers...

If your class is learning about the biosphere, you may find a study guide or reading guide helpful. Focusing on vocabulary, processes, and interactions, the Word document is easy to edit as needed to fit your needs. Another great...

What a packed instructional activity! Provide your class with the opportunity to learn about the cell cycle in several exciting ways. Biologists first learn about the theory behind mitosis, then proceed to view onion tips under the...
