Observe onion root cells undergoing mitosis underneath a light microscope and determine the phase of mitosis the cells are in. High schoolers draw a sketch of the mitotic cells, explore why cells undergo mitosis and learn how...

Students study how cancer cells mutate and affect cell division.  In this investigative lesson students view a PowerPoint presentation learn the seven warning signs of cancer. 

The living environment, from the interior of a cell to the complex relationships among populations, is queried in this final examination. Learners examine air pollution maps, cell diagrams, population graphs, and drawings of cells. They...

After initial exposure to a carcinogen, a cancer diagnosis often takes more than a decade due to the slow buildup of mutated cells in the body. Scholars learn about the biology of cancer with a worksheet and discussion questions. They...

The New York Regents High School Examinations are comprehensive and include various question formats, including multiple choice and graph analysis. This particular version, the 2008 Living Environment exam, surveys a variety of topics....

Students discover the processes that occur during mitosis and what makes each phase different and distinct from the others as well as how each contribute to the overall process of mitosis by looking at onion root tips under a microscope.

The 2005 version of the Regents High School Examination in ecology is as comprehensive as previous years' exams. It consists of 40 multiple-choice questions on topics ranging from the structure of DNA to interactions within an ecosystem....

Learners research the process of mitosis and how it progresses to the finished result of cell division. They reflect upon how this causes organisms to grow larger and helps tissues to be renewed.

Students analyze cancer data represented in graphs and charts. They describe the changes in cell structure and function as the result of cancer. They also examine phenomenas that are believed to cause cancer.

Young scholars review cell theory, identify major organelles found in typical cell, describe function of each major organelle, compare plant and animal cells, and demostrate understanding that cancer is caused by uncontrolled division of...

Students compare and contrast the cell cycle of frog eggs, normal cells, and cancer cells. They watch a video about early development of the frog embryo, generate a hypothesis in small groups, and listen to a teacher-led lecture. ...

Ninth graders research the different field of bioengineering. In this biology lesson, 9th graders differentiate meiosis and mitosis. They discuss the pros and cons of using radiation in medical diagnostics.

Students examine the structure and functions of DNA. They discover the effects radon has on one's DNA and how it leads to cancer. They discuss why DNA is so important to us.

Students explore anatomy and physiology using various activities. In this biology lesson, students reasearch about medical radiation and its applications. They study cell cycle, cell division and other processes that sustain life.

High schoolers explore DNA microarrays. In this genetics lesson, students model DNA microarrays that are used by scientists. High schoolers work to determine levels of breast cancer genes in patients. They will determine the treatment...

High schoolers define and use new vocabulary. They review the process of angiogenesis and describe the characteristics of a tumor. They discover how chemotherapy targets these types of cells.

Students work in small groups researching different aspects of the sun and skin. The groups summarize and answer questions about the material in a presentation to the class.

Learners examine the effects of radon on the lungs. They review pictures of the lungs on a large and small scale. They work together to answer questions to complete the lesson.
