What should go in the trash, and what can be composted? Guide your young conservationists through the process of composing their trash with a lesson plan about the different ways we can dispose of garbage. Using a trash bag with clean...

Culminate a bioethics unit with the implementation of a lesson that incorporates the Socratic method to encourage class feedback and participation. Pupils participate in a discussion on bioethics and morality, complete a...

Uncover the basics of DNA structure through exploration activities. Collaborative groups build DNA models and recreate the process of replication. Then, using plant cells such as peas or strawberries, they extract a DNA sample.

Brown rice contains vitamins B and E, while white rice lasts longer in storage. The availability of rice around the world makes it a great candidate for genetic engineering. Scholars apply their knowledge of genetic engineering to solve...

In this anatomy worksheet, students complete 22 review questions in the format of short answer, table completion, and fill in the blank after finishing an online virtual experiment about the chemical and physical processes of digestion.

Young scholars create a model of DNA and simulate replication with their models in an activity that uses licorice, colored marshmallows, and toothpicks. Students also label a diagram of replication and indicate major parts of the DNA...

Suitable for an AP Biology class, the lab found here has teen bioengineers working with plasmids to clone DNA. If you have not done a similar lab, the instructions may be rather difficult to follow. Both the teacher and learner...

Students develop an understanding of the decomposition process and the parameters which influence the rate at which it occurs.

Is there such a thing as useful microbes? Get ready to perform experiments on applying microbes for wastewater treatment. The first installment of the three-part unit provides background information to prepare young engineers for two...

In this assessment, 10th graders Match the vocabulary terms in column A with the definitions in column B. Write the letter of the definition in column B in the space next to the terms in column A. Upon completionof the first task,...

StudentsMatch the vocabulary terms in column A with the definitions in column B. Write the letter of the definition in column B in the space next to the terms in column A. Afterwhcich, students Write short answers or fill in the blank to...

In this microbiology worksheet, students complete 9 review questions after finishing a group lab in which they perform four biochemical tests to help divide the Enterobacteriaceae into two major groups- E. coli and...

In this biology worksheet, students identify the different types of reagents being used with the samples as part of an extensive lab experiment.

Students explore how people preserved their food in the past. In food preservation instructional activity, students create different models that enable someone to dry out food, such as a food dehydrator. Students also...

Students perform an experiment that measures respiration.  In this performing an experiment that measures respiration lesson, students discuss aerobic and anaerobic respiration.  Students measure the gas produced by putting...

Students make lists of producers and consumers and act as consumers that eat producers in a garden. In this producers and consumers lesson plan, students demonstrate a food chain by using a piece of yarn to connect all of them together.

Biology learners investigate the effect of sucrose concentration on yeast alcoholic fermentation. During the lesson,they compare and contrast the processes of cellular respiration and alcoholic fermentation. They design an experiment to...

Students explore gel electrophoresis using paper models. They model DNA sequences and shade the boxes on their Gel Electrophoresis Sheet which represent the individual fragments.

In this science worksheet, learners answer 14 questions about respiration. For example, "Cellular Respiration starts off with..."

Students will identify the sources and function of carbohydrates and fiber and apply appropriate food preparation techniques.

Seventh graders trace a piece of food through the digestive system. They describe the functions of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, etc.

Learners explore how gene sequence analysis can be used to examine phylogenetic similarities of different organisms. Students work in groups to simulate a gel electrophoresis separation of fragments using poster board to create their gel.

Seventh graders trace a piece of food through the alimentary canal and differentiate between mechanical and chemical digestion in several different hands-on activities related to digestion.

Young scholars learn about the four biochemicals that are important biologically. For this biochemicals lesson plan, students identify the four major groups of biochemicals including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids....
