Students solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic functions. they use the properties of quadratics to calculate the distance.

High schoolers study the characteristics of yeasts. In this biology lesson, students conduct experiments to measure yeast respiration. They discuss the favorable conditions needed for growing them.

Students engage in a variety of activities designed to facilitate the understanding of DNA. Activities include preparing human chromosome spreads, separating a mixture of dyes using gel electrophoresis and extracting DNA from onion cells,

Young scholars participate in a role-play activity to lean about red and white blood cells, veins, capillaries and arteries. They also see how blood passes through the heart, lungs and out of the body, carrying oxygen and nutrients.

Students explore the function of bone, muscle, and skin. Pasta and rubber bands are used to model how minerals and collagen contribute to bone strength. The effects of the reduction of these substances are explored in chicken bones.

Students create soil profiles, including rock, clay, silt, sand, and humus, in clear plastic cups out of edible materials.

Eleventh graders explore the major organs of the circulatory system. In this circulatory system lesson, 11th graders create, identify and describe parts of the system. Students view a list of major organs and predict what their job is....

Students analyze different regions of the brain which are responsible for different aspects of cognition, awareness and regulating the body's process.

Young scholars are able to identify start and stop sequences in DNA. They are able to model using restriction enzyme and ligase to remove sections of DNA and reattach them. Students are introduced to the process of recombinat DNA...

Students see how an infectious disease such as AIDS may be quickly transmitted throughout a population. They conduct a simulated transmission of an infectious disease and mathematically determine the number of possible infected individuals.

In this atomic spectra worksheet, students answer eighteen questions about wavelengths of light, the emission spectrum, energy of photons, the frequency of electromagnetic radiation and electrons in the excited state.

Students explore early hominid evolution as they analyze bones that share characteristics of both apes and humans. Students compare and contrast key skeletal differences between chimpanzees and humans. In groups, they sort and group a...

Students create a KWL chart about food. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate physical and chemical changes. They explain how microorganisms are used in food preparation.

Students compare and contrast key skeletal differences between chimpanzees and humans: brain size, teeth, hand and thumb, trunk, pelvis, lower limb, foot and big toe. They then sort and group a set of mixed "fossil bones" of chimpanzee...

Students study briefly the history, evolution, and social benefits of the automobile. After using the automobile as a case study, students choose another technology, research, and analyze it in small groups and report.

In this lipid worksheet, students answer questions about the structure and functions of lipids. They read about the three main lipids in the body including triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol and answer questions about each.

Students investigate planning an activity and getting it done on time. For this algebra lesson, students define vocabulary words related quadratic equations, including the vertex and intervals. They figure a good way to color graphs...

Students research the mechanics of liquid chromatography. In this technology lesson, students calculate the concentration of unknown samples. They write a report about their research and lab results.

Students play the role of science detectives in an activity used to introduce the scientific method and the concept that blood is not identical and is identified by surface markers. Students must identify an unknown sample of "blood" by...

Pupils analyze genetic characteristics in a given family tree through the F2 generation. Students apply prior knowledge from Gregor Mendel's study with pea plants and his Laws of Heredity to answer questions.

Students explore DNA structure using materials such as Twizzlers, small colored gumdrops and/or toothpicks.

Some parent/guardian contact forms are just better than others. This one is great. Respectful, informative, complete, this communication form even includes an assurance that the information will not be shared.

An e-magazine with kid-friendly informational text, vibrant visuals, and activities about galaxies.    

Students explore evolutionary concepts in cartoons and lab activities. They describe and explain evolutionary concepts featured in a cartoon and participate in laboratory activities.
