The amount of energy Americans use doubles every 20 years. The first lesson in a 10-part series teaches scholars about different forms of energy. They rotate through five stations with hands-on activities or experiments at each in order...

Students construct paper model of the DNA molecule.  In this genetics lesson, students assemble paper parts that represent nucleotides into a DNA molecule.  Extension ideas are also provided.

Students explore physical science by participating in a science role-play activity. In this DNA structure lesson, students discuss the different parts of the code that makes up our DNA and instructs our cells. Students utilize the...

Young scholars draw a picture of a person from popular culture, then "clone" it using printing techniques in this Art lesson that tackles the questions surrounding cloning, DNA, and current scientific techniques. An emphasis is placed on...

Students delve into a study of DNA. In this science lesson plan, students gain an understanding of DNA, which is the genetic material for every person and every other living thing.

Students practice balancing chemical equations using the trial and error method. In this balancing equations lesson plan, students use paper squares labeled with specific atoms to balance 5 given chemical equations.

Students explain how cells reproduce. In this biology lesson, students transcribe and translate a gene. They discuss and compare their answers in class.

Learners study the immune system. In this biology lesson plan, students explore illustrations that show how viruses can appear as foreign invaders in the blood. Learners also role play how the immune system responds to a virus.

Students investigate the principles of probability that can be used to predict hereditary traits.

Learners see how eight pairs of triplets are equivalent to part of a gene and control a part of heredity. They comprehend how blood corpuscles manufacture normal hemoglobin. Students already comprehend that genes control the synthesis...

Learners explore genetics, chromosomes and DNA.  In this genetics lesson students design a chromosome and identify a family tree through genetics. 

Students explain the function of DNA in the body. In this biology lesson, students build a DNA model using simple materials. They demonstrate how bases pair up in the helix.

Students use research to see how eight pairs of triplets are equivalent to part of a gene and control a part of heredity. They also understand how red blood corpuscles manufacture normal hemoglobin.

Students view six optical illusions and explain why the visual system might interpret them the way it does. They explore how illusions distort our sense of perspective, because they deceive us into seeing what we expect to see. ...

First graders create a slide show on Kid Pix about space. In this space lesson plan, 1st graders will explore the earth, sun, moon, and planets. After exploring their motions and locations around the sun, they create a 4 page slide show...
