Students are taught how enzymes enable chemical reactions to occur a body temperature and how the lack of enzymes in the body can cause problems in the break-down and absorpion of nutrients. They match up different enzymes with the...

Students examine how carnivorous plants get their nutrients from animals.  In this food web lesson students examine how the plants attract their prey and are given many onilne sources to research.

For this biology instructional activity, students complete 28 short answer questions on fungi. They color and label the different parts of a hyphae.

Ever wonder how they solve those mysterious murders in TV crime dramas? The second of four units in a Biotechnology series introduces scholars to the many methods of DNA analysis. Pupils create and run their own gel electrophoresis...

Students applied various mathematical analyses to interpret their data. By using the resulting DNA fragment patterns from several enzymes students established a possible evolutionary relationship among the mice.

Students conduct an experiment to demonstrate that many of the enzyme systems needed to break down society's wastes exist in nature among the decomposers in a compost pile. They culture compost bacteria on starch agar to examine the...

Students demonstrate that many of the enzyme systems needed to break down--and therefore clean up-society's wastes already exist in nature among the decomposers. They select the best starch-munching organisms by altering the environment...

Young scholars extract DNA from their own hair roots. They run an electrophoresis gel to examine patterns of their DNA along with standard DNA. The experiment is based on a crime scene scenario.

As your class views each slide, they will be introduced to the organelles and structure of the cell.  Details about structure and function are given and also some trivia about their frequency and population. There is also some...

Starting with a diagram of the kidneys and urinary tract of the human, this sheet has questions about excretion, blood concentrations of hormones, gland feedback mechanisms and the effects of some hormones.

After giving basic details about the properties of carbon, some of the common functional groups and molecules are featured. There is some information about specific functions and impact on the human body. The diagrams are helpful and...

Beginning biologists demonstrate their grasp on cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and energy flow though ecosystems when completing this worksheet. Fifteen multiple choice and short answer questions test their knowledge. Because of...

The main concepts behind how ATP transfers energy are explained in this Ap Biology PowerPoint. The diagrams convey the information that students need for any test regarding phosphorylation. The steps are clear, and should help...

Fifth graders investigate the nutrition in rice. For this rice lesson, 5th graders discover that rice is a great source of energy. Students compare foods to rice to see the differences in the nutritional value. Students classify foods in...

Learners examine agarose gels to compare a known DNA sample to an unknown sample to determine the quantity and size of an unknown DNA sample.

Students study fungi and its characteristics.  In this fungi lesson students collect and observe fungi then answer questions on what they saw. 

Students explore the "genetic code." They observe how genes may be manipulated for genetic research, gene cloning, and genetic engineering. In a lab setting, students examine the mechanics involved in cutting and ligating DNAs into a...

Students investigate acids, bases, and pH, and related this knowledge to the problem of acid deposition.

Students study how the human body fights off disease causing agents.  In this human health lesson students study the use of antibiotics and the problems misuse can cause. 

Students discover that the answers to some of society's waste and clean-up problems may be no further than the soil beneath their feet. They perform a Gram stain on the colonies to determine some of their characteristics.

In this endocrine system worksheet, students compare and contrast the glands associated with this body system plus review the four major classes of hormones. This worksheet has 25 fill in the blank statements.

A student-paced tutorial where learners read information, answer interactive review activities, and then take a self-checking quiz at the end of the lesson.

Find out how bacteria in the digestive system works to digest food.
