BIO205-CH1- Intro Word Search
In this word search worksheet, students locate words related to biology. The word list includes protists, viruses, plants, spiral, and biotechnology.
Curated OER
Where do Plants Get their Food?
In this where do plants get their food worksheet, students design an experiment that will disprove the idea that plants obtain their food from soil. Students will set up their experiment and design a data table that will record data over...
Curated OER
Clues to Copying the Code
For this DNA worksheet, students access a website to determine the information that was used to understand DNA replication. Students compare the difference between observations and opinions. This worksheet has 7 short answer questions...
Curated OER
The"Dirt" on Soil
Students examine the three different types of soil and their physical properties. In this soil instructional activity students design and implement a model of a water treatment plant.
Curated OER
How Do They Know That
High schoolers explore methods for reconstructing the past. In this forest succession lesson, students examine forest succession and how to read the land in order to predict patterns of change. High schoolers will visit a historical...
Curated OER
Group Rope Squares
Students study how to better their cohesion and communication skills. In this investigative lesson students work in teams and learn how to communicate better as they help to solve problems and communicate their needs.
Curated OER
Starch Yer Thinkin' About Corn Products
Seventh graders study the parts of corn and explore the role of starch. In this corn products lesson students prepare a model of water and stones.
Curated OER
Photosynthesis
In this photosynthesis worksheet, students follow the steps to complete a science investigation and then respond to 8 short answer questions regarding the photosynthesis investigation.
Curated OER
Amazing Bean Races
Pupils experiment with bean growth in varied conditions. In this plant biology lesson, students plant beans in soil and in spun cellulose (absorbent material in diapers) and measure the growth of their seedlings. They collect...
Curated OER
Permafrost
Students use a thermometer to analyze soil temperature data to determine which soil sample is normal, and which one is permafrost. In this permafrost lesson plan, students participate in a hands on activity where they identify the active...
Curated OER
Water Quality and Pollution Web Quest
Learners explore how water is a limited resource, where it comes from, how it can become polluted and how it is used. In this water quality instructional activity high schoolers search the web to answer given questions and prepare...
Curated OER
Biotechnology: Monster or Miracle
Students explore biotechnology. In this scenario-based lesson, students take a survey on what they know about genetic engineering, view a PowerPoint, and conduct a web quest. Students will then be placed in groups, and produce one of the...
Curated OER
Observing Osmosis in a Chicken Egg
Tenth graders develop a hypothesis and explain what they observed on an activity. In this investigative lesson students observe osmosis and report their data using a graph.
Curated OER
Biodiesel Combustion and Its Influences in NOx Emissions
Tenth graders evaluate the physical mechanisms that cause a change in NOx emissions. In this combustion lesson, 10th graders participate in a research project. Students create a presentation of their findings.
Curated OER
Sink or Float
Students explore water properties by conducting a class experiment. In this buoyancy instructional activity, students make predictions as to whether or not specific objects will sink or float in water. Students conduct the experiment and...

Microscopes: Is what you see, what you got?
Eighth graders identify the parts and functions of the microscope. In this biology lesson, 8th graders observe different samples under different types of microscopes. They compare and contrast the details they see.
Curated OER
Consistent Circles
Students create a design of a circle. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the measure of the diameter and radius of a circle. They graph and analyze their collected data and write equations based on direct variation.
Curated OER
The Probability Scale
Students collect data and make predictions. In this probability lesson plan, students perform experiments calculating the chance of an event occurring. They draw conclusion based on their data.
Curated OER
The Swinging Pendulum
Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. For this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.
Curated OER
Cannonball
Students calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. In this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.
Curated OER
How Does Flowing Water Shape a Planet's Surface?
Students investigate how flowing water influence landforms. In this earth science lesson plan, students observe water behavior as it flows from the stream table at various inclinations. They discuss whether water shaped Mars landforms or...
