Students investigate the world of bees and describe their characteristics. by identifying the bees' parts, they demonstrate how these parts function. In the lab, students dissect bees and view the various parts under microscopes. ...

Students (females) are introduced to the cell. They discuss what a cell is, and students define what a cell is. Students comprehend that all living things are made up of cells. They comprehend that life is defined as something that...

Students research one of the many types of viruses. They create a 3-D model of the virus they researched with graphics software.

Students investigate crime scene scenarios to meet standards. In this crime scene scenario lesson, students gather background information during the first week. They investigate topics such as mammals, genetics, bacteria, or fungi. They...

All that this will link you to is a rap about cell theory and organelles. Use it as an example for a creative assignment in your biology class. Divide the class into groups and assign them a topic for which they write and perform a skit,...

Here is a lab activity where teens experience the respiratory system first-hand as they dissect lungs and identify key structures within the system. Although the website is written in British English with some slightly different verbiage...

Students consider the causes of density at a microscopic level. They then discover that one cause of density has to do with how many protons and neutrons the material contains.

Students identify the different parts of the cells and their functions. In this biology lesson, students create an analogy of a cell and its organelles. They make a poster and present it to class.

Students determine the density of touch receptors in various parts of the body on the right hand side. They use collected data to draw a picture of the "homunculus" of an experimental subject.

Students list the parts of cell theory and describe and define vocabulary.  In this cell lesson students complete a handout that includes sketching a cell. 

Seventh graders use technology to review cell structure and function. For this cells less, 7th graders review the parts and functions of a cell, and use photography/video and PowerPoint to enhance their explorations.

Students predict, observe, and explain the details of salt as they view it under a variety of magnifications. They observe salt with the naked eye, and then under a hand lens, microscope, and the electron microscope.

Students grow bacteria cultures on agar in petri dishes and do a plate count. They participate in a yogurt making lab to see how bacteria produce lactic acid. They prepare a recipe and identify fungi, fermentation and the role of...

Students examine brackish water. In this Science lesson, students observe organisms found in brackish water. Students record their observations of the various organisms.

Students conduct a series of activities to explore the nature of cells. In this biology lesson, students observe plant and animal cells under the microscope and compare them. They differentiate osmosis and diffusion.

Students explore key terms, including food web and food chain. They discuss Arctic plants and animals, devise at least three Arctic food chains and create a food web showing connections among Arctic life.

Students collect and microscopically examine seeds from the school yard and neighborhood. In small groups, they draw and discuss the shapes of the seeds to determine each plant's method of dispersal. they also test two types of seeds...

In this mini pond worksheet, students create a mini-pond ecosystem with soil, water, and plant life. Students let their ecosystem sit for a day and they observe a sample the next day. Students identify all the pond water microorganisms...

Students explore biology by identifying a diagram. In this cell anatomy lesson, students read a story about archeology and conduct a fictitious archeology dig in class in which they search for animal cells. Students define a list of...

Students discover the microorganisms that live in water. They study the structures and life functions of protists and recognize the similarities between them and multicellular organisms.

Students draw a line graph, and use graphing as a tool to discover more about conduction, convection and radiation. They should design their own experiment using heat sensitive paper to show they explain these 3 processes.

Young scholars explore recipes online for different types of candy, and simulate process of making candy to explain how candy makers rely on varied temperatures and basic chemistry to produce perfect sweets.

Learners identify invasive species to the Great Lakes and analyze their impact on the ecosystem. Using photo cards with pictures and facts, young scientists work in small groups to match invasive species with their corresponding...

In this biology worksheet, high schoolers examine the internal functions of the human body while considering the factors needed to explain the physiological reactions.
