Monsters of the Deep
Pupils describe major features of cold seep communities, and list at least five organisms typical of these communities. They infer probable trophic relationships among organisms typical of cold-seep communities.

Lesson 3: What Happens When a Bank Makes a Loan?
Students role-play to show how bank loans made to people can have an impact on others in the community. In small groups, they analyze hypothetical loans, using flow charts or other diagrams to describe the probable impact of each.
Curated OER
Cancer as a Multistep Process
Students analyze the causes of cancer from a genetic standpoint. They explain the increase in cancer with age and create a hypothesis for cancer development. They use the laws of probability as well.

Monohybrid Punnetr Squares
Students explore Punnett squares and illustrate specific genotypic and phenotypic genetic outcomes. After a class discussion, students predict the probability of a specific trait being passed on by using Punnett squares. They reveal the...

What is a P-value?
Students test the hypotheses using p values. In this statistics lesson plan, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.
