In this physics worksheet, students examine the theory of quantum mechanics through the answering of the nine questions. The answers are accessed through the links by each question.

Students investigate the concepts of genetics and how it is tied to the variations found within different species and how it is tied to adaptations. They review the theory of evolution and factors found to help create variation. The...

Students access the ERIC database and search for the resources on learning theories. They use the features of ERIC to bookmark sources and then use Excel to create a summary of the database search.

Students grow E. coli strain HB101, which contains the plasmid pUCD607 with the bioluminescence (Lux+) gene. The plasmid containing the Lux+ gene is isolated from the E. coli, then characterized by restriction analysis.

Students explore the concepts of evolution. In this biology instructional activity, students read articles from the internet. They discuss the article within the group and answer their handouts.

Twelfth graders practice using new vocabulary related to economics. They discover how to calculate comparative and absolute advantage. They also read different articles about the topic.

In this rocks activity, students review how sediments are layered over time and how the relative ages of rocks are determined. This activity has 1 matching and 11 multiple choice questions.

Students examine rainbow components, spectral colors, colors perceived by the eye, hot solids, glowing rarefied gas, absorption, that light is a wave, and optics.

Students work in groups to investigate and present genetic variation, adaptation, and sexual selection as it relates to evolution. In this evolution instructional activity, students watch a video discuss how the human eye could evolve...
